(Officialsportsbetting.com) – Former number one golfer Rory McIlroy said on Friday that his outing last week with President Donald Trump was not a political endorsement of America’s new leader but rather “simply a round of golf.” The decision by the Northern Irish golfer to accept the invitation to play with the president at his Trump National golf course in Florida has come under fire on social media by some who saw it as approval of Trump and his policies. “To be called a fascist and a bigot by some people because I spent time in someone’s company is just ridiculous,” McIlroy, who lives much of the year in Florida, said on Twitter. It was quite simply a round of golf.
