Rory McIlroy is one of the many big-name golfers competing in the Olympics this week and while he finished his first round with a 2-under, 69 that has him in the top 20, lots of fans spent the night talking about Rory’s head.
You see, golf fans like myself are weird and when we watch golf we can get thrown off by little things that don’t matter all that much.
Like what hats players are wearing.
But in last night’s first round, golf fans were talking about McIlroy and how it was weird to see him not wearing a hat. He wears a Nike hat every time he tees it up on the PGA Tour but in the Olympics he’s gone hatless.
Here’s why:
The reason for hatless Rory:
“My head is so small that I have to get Nike to make me custom hats, so whenever I’m in a team event and the hats aren’t custom, they’re all too big.”

I did not see that reason coming at all. I also have the opposite problem of Rory – my head is so darn big that I look like a dumb idiot in hats so I go team visor when I play.
But enough about me. Let’s get back to Rory and what fans had to say about this.
