Donald Trump praised Rory McIlroy for winning his second Masters title. McIlroy, who started the day tied for the lead with Cam Young, shot a one-under 71 to secure his victory with a final score of 12-under.
Scottie Scheffler made a strong push up the leaderboard, but McIlroy remained steady. The last player to achieve back-to-back Masters wins was Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002.
McIlroy now joins the exclusive group of golfers who have successfully defended their title at Augusta National, including Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Woods. With this win, McIlroy becomes a six-time major champion and a two-time Masters winner, putting his past Augusta struggles behind him.
President Trump congratulated McIlroy on his victory, commending his performance under pressure and praising his growing status as a golf legend. The PGA Tour is set to return to Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster course for the 2026 Cadillac Championship.
Before focusing on future tournaments, McIlroy will relish his latest Masters triumph, which adds to his career grand slam. Reflecting on his win, McIlroy expressed his gratitude for persevering over the years at the tournament.
While it’s uncertain if McIlroy will participate in the RBC Heritage next week, Trump hopes to see him at the Miami Championship. Sky has enhanced its TV and sports bundle to include various streaming services and extensive sports coverage, including the Premier League and EFL matches.
