New Internet Meme: Cigar Guy

A stunning picture of Tiger Woods was taken at the Ryder Cup as he swung his club and hit the ball directly into the photographer’s camera. This was an amazing feat in itself, but what actually made the picture famous was the quirky mustachioed man smoking a cigar to Tiger’s left.

The man has become an overnight internet sensation and his image has been photoshopped into a number of iconic pictures. Here are some for your viewing pleasure.
