Donald Trump praised Rory McIlroy for his second Masters victory. McIlroy, tied for the lead with Cam Young, finished with a one-under 71 to secure his 12-under final score and defend his Masters title successfully.
Scottie Scheffler made a strong move up the leaderboard, but McIlroy, like Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002, stood firm as the last player to achieve consecutive Masters wins. McIlroy now joins a select group of golfers, including legends like Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Woods, who have defended their titles at Augusta National.
President Trump lauded McIlroy’s performance, calling him a legend and expressing anticipation for his upcoming competition. The PGA Tour is set to return to Trump National Doral for the 2026 Cadillac Championship, marking the comeback of elite golf to the venue after more than five years.
McIlroy, now a six-time major champion and two-time Masters winner, basks in his latest triumph before looking ahead to future victories. His success has established him as one of the most accomplished Masters champions in history, with McIlroy expressing gratitude for his perseverance paying off.
As McIlroy’s future tournament participation remains uncertain, Trump hopes to see him compete in the Miami Championship.
