McIlroy held on for a one-shot victory over America’s world number one Scottie Scheffler, becoming only the fourth player in the tournament’s 90-year history to win successive titles at Augusta.

Trump, who has played golf with McIlroy in the past, used his Truth Social platform to send a message to the 36-year-old.

“Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on another Great Championship, The Masters!” Trump wrote.

“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 then added a reference to the Cadillac Championship, which is expected to be McIlroy’s next appearance when it starts at Trump National Doral in Miami at the end of the month.

“I look forward to watching him compete in two weeks at Doral,” Trump wrote.

“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!”
