In what some have called, "totally, like, whoa, I mean, whoa, like, whoa", the mystery of Tiger Woods' allegedly passed gas on his way to victory at the 2009 Buick Open has finally been solved.

Some blamed the caddy, some the simple noise of golf clubs rattling in the bag -- but Sporting Hipster is pleased to bring you this EXCLUSIVE quote, directly from tiger.

"Everyone's been asking me about it, even my ridiculously hot wife," he told SH from his giant pool filled with cash. "And the truth is -- it was a shart."

Tiger then started laughing wildly while sharting yet again.

No official word yet whether he will sell the soiled underwear for charity.
