“A lot of them are very political. Some of them like my politics and some don’t. The ones that don’t, I don’t see as much,” Trump told NBC during the broadcast of a golf tournament in Florida that included McIlroy and three others playing for charity.

But Trump said he does not hold a grudge against players who are turned off by his abrasive style.

“I know so many of the tour players. I can’t think of anyone I don’t like, and I can’t say that in life. When you meet tour players, they are all great people,” he said.

The 31-year-old McIlroy was getting back into the swing of things on Sunday with fellow pros Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff after a two-month break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

They are shaking off the golf rust to raise money for Covid-19 relief and help introduce new safety guidelines from the PGA.
