Ryanair, known for its no-frills approach, made headlines with a controversial tweet targeting Scottie Scheffler's hairline following his second-place finish at the Masters 2026. The tweet, which read, 'Poor Scottie. Not bc he didn’t win the masters but bc what an unfortunate hairline for a 29-year-old,' was seen as a cheap shot, especially coming after Scheffler's strong performance where he finished just one stroke behind Rory McIlroy. Ryanair's follow-up comment, 'Turkey flight, Scottie?' referenced Turkey's status as a hub for hair transplants, adding to the sting of their remarks. This incident highlights the ongoing discourse around hair loss in sports, with other athletes like Jaylen Brown and Tom Brady also partaking in discussions about hair restoration. While Scheffler may not be familiar with Ryanair, the airline's jab has certainly caught the attention of fans and commentators alike.
