One great mystery of 2016 has officially been solved. A lot of people noticed that European players weren’t wearing hats during the 2016 Ryder Cup, which stood out because almost every professional golfer in the world wears a hat while playing these days. That’s valuable sponsorship real estate, after all.
Well, now we know why Rory McIlroy decided to keep his head bare thanks to one inquisitive fan on Twitter…
