The men’s golf competition is currently underway at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and Rory McIlroy had attracted a few eyeballs even before he teed off in round one. McIlroy took the field without a hat, which caught the attention of fans.
But still, he had a slow start to this prestigious event as he finished with a score of -2 after day 1. His struggle with the short iron and wedge game held back McIlroy from posting a low score.
Meanwhile, Rory’s decision to go hatless has drawn a mixed response from fans. Some of them were impressed by his new look, while others criticized him.
However, most of the fans seemed confused about this decision and questioned him on Twitter. Let us have a look at a few of the tweets and also the reason behind this decision.
Rory McIlroy goes hatless at Tokyo Olympics 2020
The reason why Rory McIlroy went hatless was his tiny head. He said, “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.”
Hence, whenever Rory McIlroy represents his nation, more often than not, he goes hatless due to the aforementioned reason. So this decision by Rory to go hatless has got all the attention on day one at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
Some fans were bamboozled, few appreciated the new look, and a few of them questioned Rory McIlroy for this look.

Random #Olympics observation: it’s kind of weird watching @McIlroyRory golf whilst not wearing a hat, no? Maybe it’s just me. #Tokyo2020

But not as wild as Rory McIlroy without a hat on. Holy hell what is this?

However, going into the second round, Rory McIlroy is currently T20 with a score of -2. But it is nothing unusual, as Rory always tends to start slowly and then pick up the pace.
Moreover, McIlroy has got ample time at Tokyo Olympics 2020 as this is a no-cut event. But he just needs to be careful that he does not fall too far back and give other players the momentum to go ahead.
