The Cigar Guy meme originated from a photograph taken by Mark Pain during the 2010 Ryder Cup, capturing the moment Tiger Woods hit a ball directly toward the camera lens. While the action was intense, the internet's attention quickly shifted to a spectator in the background: Rupesh Shingadia, who was dressed in a ginger wig, fake mustache, and chomping on a cigar to emulate golfer Miguel Ángel Jiménez. Shingadia’s stoic and eccentric appearance amidst the sporting drama became an overnight sensation, turning him into a symbol of being unfazed or simply vibing while chaos or greatness occurs nearby. Today, the template is a staple for depicting spectators of life's wildest moments or for anyone embracing their own unique style.
