A lot of luck comes from being prepared and planning. This picture was shot at the Rider Cup. For those who don't know what that is, the Rider Cup is a golf tournament played between USA vs. European players. Basically the best golfers in the world. One photographer was following Tiger Woods during his round. The photographer positioned himself on the side of Tiger wanting to get an image of him hitting the ball. It just so happened that Tiger miss hit the ball at the same time the photographer snapped the picture.
All sports photogrhers that take pictures of sporting events that use a ball always (most always) want to get the action and the ball in the same picture. I think he did just that. He was prepared to take his shot and luck came walking by.
Footnote: Check out the guy in the back ground with the cigar and wig.
Footnote 2: The photographer was OK. The ball hit his camera lens.
