‘Rory [McIlroy] Lookin Like Kevin McCallister’: Fans Get Amused With an Unexpected THE PLAYERS Championship Entry

After the PGA Tour wrapped up its fourth signature event at the Bay Hill Golf Course and crowned Scottie Scheffler as the winner. The men’s circuit has headed to its next stop at Ponte Vedra Beach to kick off the 50th edition of THE PLAYERS Championship. Which is all set to start from the 14th to the 17th of March.

Even before teeing it up on the course, the PGA Tour players have already captivated the golf world by simply arriving at the TPC Sawgrass event. The main star of the video was Rory McIlroy, who took 21st place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week.

Rory McIlroy makes an amusing entry

The PGA Tour, through its official Instagram account, posted the latest video of all the golfers reporting to the venue of the TPC Sawgrass and captioned it “Ready for @THEPLAYERS 🔥” The video begins with Rory McIlroy entering the premises of the venue carrying four huge bags in his hands, pretty much like the ones used for laundry.

The 24-time PGA Tour Pro even had two additional bags tied around his shoulders. As the camera zoomed into him, he smiled and said, “Laundry, lots of laundry.”Another PGA Tour pro’s arrival grabbed a lot of attention and it was none other than Justin Thomas. As the two-time major champion came out of his car, his adorable dog peeked from inside it, as he took out his luggage and walked towards the venue.

Followed by Kurt Kitayama, Xander Schauffele, and Justin Rose, who walked into the premises together as they met midway. All the golfers had a great meeting in front of the door before embarking on the grand tournament.

Having bagged the 34th position last year with a score of -1, he is to play alongside Viktor Hovland and Jordan Spieth for the first two rounds. The Northern Irishman is back to redeem himself. It looks like, from his very first entry, McIlroy has left the entire golf world awestruck. They flooded the post with all sorts of hilarious comments for him!

Rory McIlroy headed to the laundromat?

As THE PLAYERS Championship is just around the corner, Rory McIlroy’s followers cheered him up before D-Day as he was seen entering the den. They left comments like, “The weather is gorgeous, the course is gorgeous, LFGO!!!!!!” and “RORYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Let’s go!!” motivating him. A lot of the people took to the massive amounts of bags that he had brought with him.

While one of them compared him to the character of Kevin McCalister in Home Alone, played by Macaulay Culkin, commenting, “Rory looks like Kevin McCalister from home alone coming back from the grocery store 🤣”, another hilariously comparing his entry to a visit to the laundromat, wrote, “Rory McIlroy, as seen coming from the laundromat”.

One of them even shared another funny remark, dropping the question, “Rory going camping?’ However, one thing that stood out was that all the golfers were seen carrying their luggage as they entered and that was humble of them. Taking to this, one of them even commented, “Multi millionaires carrying their laundry, bags, you name it. Dog in the front seat. Love it. Love these guys!” Even though there is fun banter going on in the social media posts, the air around them is filled with nervousness and competition. Now only time will tell which golfer will take home the $4.5 million winner’s cut from the whopping $25 million prize purse this year!
