Quick Summary

Rory McIlroy expects President Donald Trump's visit to the Irish Open this week to bring tight security and a distinct atmosphere to the golf tournament. A White House official confirmed last month that Trump plans to attend the event at his own golf course in Doonbeg, Ireland on July 19-23. According to McIlroy, the presence of Trump will require extra measures, but he also acknowledged that Trump's golf resorts have previously hosted various PGA and European Tour events. The Irish Open winner may receive the trophy from Trump himself on Sunday evening.
