"Cigar Guy" is on the right.

Of all the pictures taken at this year’s Ryder Cup, one in particular has proved very popular. The photograph, taken by a photographer for the British newspaper the Daily Mail, shows Tiger Woods firing a golf ball straight at the camera. However, it is not the composition or the lighting that has made this picture popular; it’s a very special mustachioed onlooker chewing on a cigar. The internet community have ingeniously named him ‘Cigar Guy,’ and attempts are being made to find out who this outlandish character is.
