Former President Donald Trump praised Rory McIlroy for his victory at the Masters, securing his second title. McIlroy, who shared the lead with Cam Young at the start of the day, finished with a one-under 71 to defend his crown with a 12-under final score.
Despite a strong performance by Scottie Scheffler, McIlroy managed to hold onto his lead. The last player to achieve back-to-back Masters victories was Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002, placing McIlroy in an exclusive group of four golfers who have successfully defended their title at Augusta National.
President Trump commended McIlroy for his exceptional performance under pressure, hailing him as a legend in the making. The PGA Tour is set to return to Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster course for the 2026 Cadillac Championship, marking the comeback of elite golf to the venue.
McIlroy, now a six-time major champion and two-time Masters winner, will relish his latest triumph before focusing on future competitions. Reflecting on his success, McIlroy expressed gratitude for his perseverance and determination at the Masters, emphasizing his joy in clinching another victory.
As McIlroy’s future tournament plans remain uncertain, Trump looks forward to potentially seeing him compete at the Miami Championship.
