And just what is that guy wearing on top of his head??? Is it a really bad toupee or a turban?

I see an NBC sitcom with this guy coming soon!

I feel like its some sort of joke we aren't in on like Borat or something and this guy is following Tiger around all day calling him a jackass al la Happy Gilmore:

->> Maybe these strange characters are Woods' body guards or secret service...just trying to blend in. Funny as I first saw this picture on a different forum and my eyes went from the ball to the cigar guy. Nobody on that forum even mentioned him. That is why I love the trained eyes of the SS clan-:).

From the link provided by Dennis, listen to the beginning, The reporter interviewing Mark says "It was Saturday and Tiger was in a foursome," I know it's a common golf term but funny nonetheless.
