Rory McIlroy Is Barely Recognizable With New Haircut
Rory McIlroy has been known for his black, curly haircut since he first came onto the professional golf scene more than 10 years ago.

The 36-year-old PGA Tour star from Northern Ireland is sporting a new look, though. McIlroy, who won The Masters earlier this year, is gearing up for The Open Championship, which is set for next Thursday, July 17.
Six years ago, McIlroy failed to make the cut at the Open Championship at Royal Portrush in his native Northern Ireland.
'I wanted to be here for the weekend. Selfishly I wanted to feel that support for two more days. But today was probably one of the most fun rounds of golf I've ever played," he said of his failed attempt. 'It's strange saying that standing here and having had a bit of success and won this championship before, and just to be battling to make the cut. To play in front of those crowds today and to feel that momentum and really dig in, it's going to be a tough one to get over."
In 2025, McIlroy will be looking to win his second Open Championship - he first won in 2014. And he'll be sporting a new look while doing so.

He's barely recognizable at first.
"Haircut Rory looks like Jeremy Strong," one fan wrote.
It's a sleek look for McIlroy, who has been graying a lot more in recent years (join the club, Rory).
Perhaps his sleeker look will lead to cooler play over the course of the four rounds at The Open Championship later this month.
The first round of the final major tournament of the year is scheduled to begin on Thursday, July 17. Hopefully, it'll be a fun one.

Sienna Miller brings back ditsy florals in a sweet summer dress at Wimbledon
Just as we were about to declare polka dots or gingham as the print of the summer, Sienna Miller declares that ditsy florals are back. The actress was spotted in the stands at Wimbledon today wearing a sweet mini-dress covered in tiny flowers. The style, which featured soft puff shoulders, ruffle detailing and a black ribbon woven around the neckline, is by the London-based designer Alessandra Rich (and currently in the sale). Rich is known for her feminine dresses, which often feature dainty prints and accented collars, worn by everyone from the Princess of Wales to Hailey Bieber and Michelle Williams. Miller styled her mini-dress with some classic black sunglasses, her centre-parted hair in loose waves. She was joined at the tournament by boyfriend Oli Green, who looked dapper in a navy suit and silver tie. They were also sat with Hollywood actress Jodie Foster and singer Katherine Jenkins, to enjoy the Centre Court action on day nine of the famed tennis championship. Miller is a regular fixture in the stands at Wimbledon, attending the tournament most years (sometimes more than once). Naturally, she always nails the dress code in something chic and classic, leaving her beauty look pared-back – glowing skin, subtle make-up and a nude manicure – to allow her wardrobe to take centre stage. "I think since I became a young woman, I've always been more minimalist," she told us last year, when sharing the contents of her beauty bag, adding that she feels her most beautiful when barefaced but "a little bit sun-kissed". Her tendency towards the natural can also be seen via her usually tousled hair. "My signature hairstyle would be 'just rolled out of bed'," she jokes, explaining that her naturally wavy hair "looks better if I just let it dry and leave it".
