President McIlroy sounds good – How fans reacted to Will Zalatoris call to make Rory McIlroy President of USA

By Vishnu Mohan Modified 15 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share DS Automobiles Italian Open 2022 - Previews (Image via Getty) Will Zalatoris’ season came to a halt at the BMW PGA Championship as he sustained a back injury during the third round. The 26-year-old is currently in recovery. However, he took the time to let his fans know him in-depth by giving a personal interview. Thanks to the interview, we now know that Zalatoris would vote for Rory McIlroy if he ever ran for the US presidential election. Zalatoris was catapulting to the top of the FedExCup standings before suffering a season-ending injury. He recently gave an interview to journalist Graham Bensinger on his show and spoke openly about LIV Golf. The golfer, who was once rumored to be considering an offer from LIV Golf, bashed the new series and its players. Will Zalatoris also went on to laud Rory McIlroy, who has become the face of the PGA in the PGA Tour-LIV Golf debate. Even though they haven’t had the chance to play together, Zalatoris heaped praise on McIlroy and said that the Irish golfer was among the 'most intelligent' people he had met. DS Automobiles Italian Open 2022 - Previews Speaking on the In Depth with Graham Bensinger show, he said: “If Rory was born in the United States, I’d vote him for president because he’s just one of the most intelligent, well-spoken, introspective people I’ve ever met. I loved him growing up, watching him play, but now that I’ve gotten to know him and see how he’s been such a good custodian of the game, it’s so cool. We’re lucky to have a guy like that around.” He added: “He just thinks of the general interests… I guarantee you 75% of the guys on Tour probably look at what Rory says, and then they just try to put it in their own words just because it’s just so well thought out and well said. So, he’s always got my vote.”
