Cigar Guy at 2010 Ryder Cup gets a face. The 2010 Ryder Cup was in its last stages when a genius photographer snapped a picture of Tiger Woods hitting a ball directly at the camera. Under normal circumstances, the photo would be published and the buzz would be about the way the photographer captured the essence of the speeding ball. However, there was a curious character in the crowd sporting a wig, mustache, and smoking a big ol cigar. The cigar is what has reached the character the name "Cigar Guy."
He singlehandedly provided hours of photoshop excitement by bored Americans across the country. He's now been placed in historical photo, Beatles records, magazine covers, and more.
Finally, the UK Daily Mail was able to find the "Cigar Guy" and locate his name. You can click here to find out his identity.
The Cigar Guy at the Ryder Cup 2010 was a viral success, and is embarrassed and overwhelmed by all the new found fame. However, he's provided many people around the world with hours of Photoshopping fun, and for that he should be proud.
