Rory McIlroy admits his new haircut 'stupidly' backfired
Rory McIlroy shares the story behind his new haircut with @Amanda_Balionis 😂
Getting old is the absolute worst and it might be even more difficult for professional athletes. When many sports (and fans) consider your career nearly over just for turning 30, is it any surprise we see stars trying to look young forever?
Of course, it doesn't always work out. Rory McIlroy learned this the hard way ahead of this week's Genesis Scottish Open. The co-leader after 54 holes showed up to The Renaissance Club in North Benwick, Scotland with a brand new buzzcut.
The idea behind the new do was to hide much of the gray hair that populates his head. That's, uh, not what happened.
Oh, Rory. Of course that wasn't going to work. The buzzcut only makes the gray hairs stronger.
This is exactly the type of half measure you should Google before going ahead with. Fortunately, it's rare to see McIlroy without a hat on, so it's not like he has to walk around in complete shame. And when he's not wearing a cap, the Masters champion can pop on that green jacket and completely distract from his hair.
