As is often the case, the reigning Masters champion did not arrive at this hairstyle by accident.<\/p>\n However, the reason for his hair being so short is much more bizarre than one might think. McIlroy revealed it during an interview with CBS<\/a> after finishing the third round at The Renaissance:<\/p>\n “I’m getting a little gray as everyone probably knows and I stupidly thought that by going shorter it would take the grays out and if anything, I think it makes me look more gray,” he said.<\/p>\n The five-time major winner took the opportunity to give a hint about the upcoming event that lives rent-free in his thoughts<\/a>.<\/p>\n “It’ll grow back. That’s a good thing. It’ll be in perfect length for the Ryder Cup in September.”<\/p>\n Rory McIlroy’s New Hairstyle Has Worked Wonders for Him<\/p>\n His new hairstyle may not have helped him get rid of his gray hair, but it’s likely he will maintain this look for some time. Whether or not it’s for this reason, Rory McIlroy is currently co-leading the Scottish Open<\/a> with just 18 holes remaining.<\/p>\n\n
