That’s what everyone is wondering after seeing the picture taken of father of two Tiger Woods during the weekend’s Ryder Cup that shows Cigar Guy cheering in the right corner. Let’s back up a second: The photo itself is what gained attention at first. It shows a golf ball coming at the cameraman Sunday as Woods tried to chip onto the green. It’s a very cool and unique shot, but it became an internet sensation not because of Tiger. Instead, it’s the random guy in the right corner who’s getting attention around the world. Amidst a crowd of cap-wearing, windbreaker-sporting, non-smoking fans, Cigar Guy stands out. He is smoking a big cigar, and he’s got an expression of amazement on his face, as though he’d just seen Woods cure cancer.
That is nothing short of brilliant. Enjoy your time in the spotlight, Cigar Guy. It is sure to be a wild ride. Even for a man like him who I suspect knows a thing or two about wild rides. He lives life to the fullest, man. No question about it.
