Fans react to Rory McIlroy wearing his Masters jacket to Wimbledon

Celebrities and athletes of different sports always grace the All England Club to watch Wimbledon.

Their clothing rarely causes tennis fans to do a double take; however, defending Masters champion Rory McIlroy’s jacket choice got fans talking.

McIlroy was wearing his Masters jacket, and fans had a wide range of opinions about his decision.

What fans said

One fan called it a “massive flex.”

Another said: “I’m going to dinner tonight. Should I take my 3rd grade bowling trophy with me?”

Someone else added: “Would be funny if he spilled strawberries and cream on it.”

Others thought it was great that two-time defending champion McIlroy is donning the jacket he worked so hard to get. As some thought it was against the rules to wear the Masters jacket anywhere but Augusta, another person clarified that the Masters champion is allowed to wear the jacket anywhere he chooses during the year he is the reigning champion.

Novak Djokovic liked McIlroy’s wardrobe choice

Djokovic, who has taken to wearing a blazer after winning his Wimbledon matches, called out McIlroy during his postmatch interview following his second round victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas.

He encouraged fans to applaud McIlroy for his Masters win and said: “I want that jacket. I’ll play you. This jacket for that jacket. We play tennis, no golf.”

The Caroline Wozniacki factor

One fan did not have an opinion on McIlroy’s jacket, but he wondered how awkward it would be if Rory ran into his former fiancee, Caroline Wozniacki.

Wozniacki works for ESPN and is on site at Wimbledon.

McIlroy famously broke their engagement as they were preparing to send out wedding invitations in May 2014.

Both Wozniacki and McIlory married and have children, but tennis fans will never forget that whirlwind romance and how McIlory initially became very interested in professional tennis in the first place.
