In a lawsuit filed Tuesday against Tiger Woods and his caddie Joe LaCava, a Pasco County, Florida man said LaCava shoved him during the third round of the 2018 Valspar Championship, causing injuries.

Per Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times, the man, Brian Borruso, filed the suit in which he's seeking over $30,000 in damages in Pinellas County, Florida.

Doug Ferguson of the Associated Press covered the alleged shove in further detail:

"The civil complaint, filed Tuesday in Pinellas County, alleges Brian Borruso tried to take a selfie as Woods approached his tee shot left of the 13th green in the third round at Innisbrook, and that Joe LaCava 'intentionally shoved' Borruso and caused him to stumble and fall into the crowd.
