Skinny calves.  How does he walk on those??:-D

He's on the Tiger Woods Patented Calf Training Regimen.

Calves are such a genetic thing.  If you don't have big calves, all the weight lifting in the world isn't going to give you big calves.  You can make them strong as hell, but you're not going to change spider legs into huge pillars of muscle.  Nonetheless, it seems like Rory has done just fine for himself with the calves he has.  I'd gladly trade my (much larger) calves for his golf game any day!

Yup.

Even TW is jealous of mine. And Shania Twain doesn't like hers, either.

Grrrrr, guy is more successful than 99.9% of golfers out there, doing very well in life and complaints about skinny legs,

Everyone has to be taken down a notch Steve!

Make fun of the hair!

No matter how hard he tries to tamp it down, it's still a frizzy fro.

If you view it in an app, it's the Portugese flag. It's also mentioned in the replies it's Portugal.

Coming from Portugal to the US to play some golf...

If McIlroy doesn't play the PGA, it would be a major letdown after all these tweets he's sending out about his improving ankle. My guess is if his was any other major, he'd sit it out, but since this is the last one and really can risk not playing again for 4-5 more months, he'll give it a go. I expect him to play, and if there's no damage from it, his next tourney will be the week before the TOUR. If there is damage, you won't see him again til probably Abu Dhabi.

I'm finding these crytic tweets and pics of Rory fairly annoying. If you're playing, say so. If you don't know, don't tease. C'mon. You're 25 years old, not 12.

I would bet he is really wanting to play but can't yes for sure yet.  He wants to throw it out there that there is a chance but if he as to backdown, he won't be going against his word.

And he may be going a little stir crazy being trapped indoors for weeks.

[Spiethismyhero]

You're probably right but his publicist already said he's not on his way to Wisconsin. So what's with the pic? I hope he plays. We need the best competition possible.

i'm SURE he wants to play... and i know i want to see him play... and i'm POSITIVE he's going stir crazy being trapped indoors for weeks... :-D i'm the world's laziest person, and even i go crazy when laid up like that... i'm just not sure it is such a good idea... i won't pretend to know his body, but unless he is 100%, it's a risk (imo) he should not take... besides the (mentioned earlier) potential swing issues, it opens up the possibility of injuring something else if compensating for the ankle...

Haney said he's flying to Whistling Straits to get some practice rounds in.  Haney also said that the course is really tough to walk and wonders if Rory's ankle will hold up not to the golf but all the walking.
