Cigar Guy

Circled Above is Cigar Guy, Rupesh Shingadia

Just about two weeks ago, the internet lit up with people talking about the man, now known as, Cigar Guy. Cigar Guy was a man who was photographed in a recent image that many called the best sports photograph of all time. The photo of a Tiger Wood’s shot headed right towards the camera which took the picture also feature the man with the mustache, and turban, the one and only “Cigar Guy”.

For almost two weeks people went on referring to this guy, however, they didn’t know who he actually was. The mystery has now been solved. Cigar Guy is a 30 year old man named Rupesh Shingadia. Rupesh who seems mild mannered, stated that he was actually dressed up in a disguise, trying to impersonate Miguel Angel Jimenez, a European golfer.

The intention of the disguise was not to get the attention of the cameras, but rather to get the attention of Miguel Angel Jimenez himself.
