If you want to use the tidyverse (or readr respectively) package instead, you can use read_table instead.

read_table(file, col_names = TRUE, col_types = NULL,
  locale = default_locale(), na = "NA", skip = 0, n_max = Inf,
  guess_max = min(n_max, 1000), progress = show_progress(), comment = "")

And see here in the description:

read_table() and read_table2() are designed to read the type of textual data where
each column is #' separate by one (or more) columns of space.
