Donald Trump praised Rory McIlroy for capturing his second Masters title. McIlroy, who started the final 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 move up the leaderboard, but McIlroy held his ground. The last player to win back-to-back Masters titles was Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002. McIlroy now joins an elite group of golfers, including Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Woods, as one of only four to successfully defend their title at Augusta National.
President Trump commended McIlroy for his exceptional performance under pressure, calling him a legend. The PGA Tour will return to Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster course for the 2026 Cadillac Championship from April 29 to May 3, marking the revival of elite golf at the venue.
McIlroy, now a six-time major champion, savored his latest Masters win, acknowledging his perseverance over the years. It remains uncertain if he will compete at the RBC Heritage next week, but Trump hopes to see him at the Miami Championship.
