Rory McIlroy, the Northern Irish golfer, has chosen not to participate in the PGA Tour event at Trump National Doral, Florida, despite former President Donald Trump's public congratulations following McIlroy's recent Masters victory. This marks the first PGA Tour event at a Trump-owned facility since 2016. McIlroy, who became only the fourth player in history to defend the Masters title, edged out fellow golfer Scottie Scheffler by a single stroke. Trump's social media post praised McIlroy's performance, calling him a 'legend.' However, McIlroy has decided to take a short break from golf, forgoing a potential $3 million prize at the Doral event. He has not played since his Masters triumph and is likely focusing on three major tournaments scheduled for the summer, including the PGA Championship on May 14 and the U.S. Open shortly thereafter.
