At this point Borruso claims Woods' caddie Joe LaCava "intentionally shoved" him. He then claims he stumbled and fell into the mass of spectators.

“Regardless of celebrity status, no one has the right to violate the well-known safety rule of keeping your hands to yourself,” Drechsel said in a statement on the Tampa Bay Times website. “It’s not right for anyone to do that, and we believe there is evidence out there that will help prove our case.”

According to TMZ Sports, the lawsuit claims that Borusso "suffered injury and damages," including "bodily and mental injury," "disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, expenses of hospitalisation, medical and nursing care and treatment, loss of ability to earn income, and aggravation of a previously existing condition."

As a result Borruso is claiming more than $30,000 in damages from Woods, who is in the firing line because USGA rules state Woods is responsible for his caddie's alleged actions.
