Rory McIlroy believes President-elect Donald Trump can positively influence a deal between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. McIlroy endorsed what Trump himself reportedly said, that he could get a deal done "in 15 minutes".
The Northern Irishman is at Yas Links in the UAE to play in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, the penultimate event of the DP World Tour 2024 season. During his pre-event press conference, a reporter asked McIlroy for his opinion on the role Trump might play in the deal between the two rival tours.
Here is part of what McIlroy had to say (via Golf Monthly):
"He [Donald Trump] 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."
