McIlroy, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, who’s playing in a skins match with Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff on Sunday in a fundraising exhibition for COVID-19 relief, then expressed his displeasure with the way Trump has handled the coronavirus pandemic.
“We’re in the midst of something that’s pretty serious right now and the fact that he’s trying to politicize it and make it a campaign rally and say we’re administering the most tests in world like it is a contest — there’s something that just is terrible,’’ McIlroy said. “It’s not the way a leader should act. There’s a sort of diplomacy that you need to have, and I don’t think he’s showing that — especially in these times.’’
Asked if he’d ever play with Trump again, McIlroy, who lives close to the president’s residence in the Palm Beach, Fla., area, said, “I don’t know if he’d want to play with me again after what I just said. But no, I wouldn’t.’’
