<p>The world number three has not played competitively since suffering a stress fracture to one of his ribs during the South African Open in January, where he lost a play-off to Graeme Storm.</p>
<p>The website &#8216;No Laying Up&#8217; reported that McIlroy rode in a golf cart for all 18 holes with Trump and quoted the four-time major winner&#8217;s opinion on the President&#8217;s game.</p>
<p>&#8220;He probably shot around 80. He&#8217;s a decent player for a guy in his 70s,&#8221; McIlroy said.</p>
<p>McIlroy has targeted next week&#8217;s WGC-Mexico Championship for his comeback &#8211; an event which was moved from Trump National Doral to Mexico City and renamed from the WGC-Cadillac Championship.</p>
<p>The PGA Tour had a contract to hold the WGC event at Doral until 2023, but with the provision that a new title sponsor would have the right to take the tournament elsewhere. Cadillac&#8217;s sponsorship ended in 2016.</p>
<p>Speaking last June, shortly after Trump had kicked off his presidential campaign by revealing controversial plans to build a border wall between Mexico and the United States, McIlroy joked: &#8220;It&#8217;s quite ironic we&#8217;re going to Mexico after being at Doral. We&#8217;ll just jump over the wall.&#8221;</p>
<p>A picture posted on Twitter by Clear Sports on Sunday showed its chief executive Garry Singer alongside former New York Yankee Paul O&#8217;Neill, McIlroy and President Trump at Trump International.</p>
<p>However, McIlroy told No Laying Up that Singer and O&#8217;Neill were not a part of the group. The four-ball was rounded out by Nick Mullen from International Sports Management and Rich Levine, a friend of the President.</p>
<p>Golf&#8217;s most influential organisations had previously distanced themselves from President Trump in the wake of his views on Mexican immigrants, which were expressed when the 70-year-old announced his decision to stand for the Republican nomination in 2015.</p>
<p>The Grand Slam of Golf was moved from Trump National in Los Angeles, while the PGA Tour began considering alternative venues for the WGC-Cadillac Championship after his call for a &#8220;total and complete&#8221; ban on Muslims entering America following terrorist attacks.</p>
