TIGER WOODS appeared to have been left bloodied after a tussle with a pair of monsters on a birthday fishing trip.
The American, who turned 42 on December 30, posted a pair of proud snaps showing off his catch.
Woods landed a cobia and an amberjack after treating himself to a birthday trip with rod and reel.
And he looked to have had a run in with the fish, with scratch marks visible above his troublesome left knee.
Injury-ravaged Woods has suffered five major injuries to the joint since 1994.
He may well have taken a bang after landing an amberjack, with serrated skin visible beneath two of its fins.
