Trump congratulates Rory McIlroy on back-to-back Masters wins: 'Becoming more and more a legend'

Trey Wingo sits down with Ricky Cobb to break down the big question heading into Augusta: can Rory McIlroy repeat at The Masters? After finally getting over the hump, Rory’s back in the spotlight—and the expectations have never been higher. But is a repeat at Augusta realistic, or are we getting carried away with the hype?

President Donald Trump praised Rory McIlroy after his latest Masters triumph on Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club.

McIlroy became the fourth golfer in history to earn back-to-back green jackets, edging the field by just one shot.

"Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on another Great Championship, The Masters! 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!" Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social during his return to Washington from Florida on Sunday evening.

Trump then pointed to McIlroy’s next stop, saying he’s eager to see him compete at Doral in Florida.

"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!"
