Donald Trump congratulates Rory McIlroy amid Masters win
Donald Trump has taken to Truth Social to congratulate Rory McIlroy on winning his second Masters Tournament. In an April 13 post, he wrote, “Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on another Great Championship, The Masters!”
Trump continued, “He performed tremendously under intense pressure, something which few people would be able to even think about doing. With each year, Rory is becoming more and more a LEGEND!”
The president concluded, saying, “I look forward to watching him compete in two weeks at Doral. The quality of Professional Golfers today has become extraordinary, each and every one of them. They should all be proud of the way they played at The Masters this weekend!”
McIlroy won with 11-under par, fending off a late surge from opponent Scottie Scheffler in the final round. He became the fourth golfer to defend his Masters title in two consecutive years, joining golfing icons like Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods. The star golfer’s 2026 victory also marks his sixth overall major championship of his career.
Trump had previously played golf with McIlroy, as revealed by the champion last year in an interview with The Irish Times. McIlroy noted that Trump “can be influential, he loves golf,” adding that he had conversations with him about the political landscape within the sport.
Following the 2026 Masters Tournament, held at the Augusta National Golf Club from April 9 to 12, McIlroy is expected to play at the Cadillac Championship. This highly anticipated golfing event is part of the 2026 PGA TOUR’s schedule. It will take place at Trump National Doral in Miami on April 30.
