Appearing recently on the “Let’s Go!” podcast, Trump said that he could help strike a deal between the two warring sides in “15 minutes” and that the sport is better served with one predominant tour with all of the best players.
Asked about those comments Wednesday, McIlroy said: “He might be able to. He’s got Elon Musk, who I think is the smartest man in the world, beside him. We might be able to do something if we can get Musk involved, too.
“I think, from the outside looking in, it’s probably a little less complication than it actually is. But obviously Trump has a great relationship with Saudi Arabia. He’s got a great relationship with golf. He’s a lover of golf. So, maybe. Who knows? But I think as President of the United States again, he’s probably got bigger things to focus on than golf.”
