But what would the sport look like if the mega-rich power couple stamped their mark on it?
Musk, meanwhile, is a strong ally of Trump’s and among the leading innovators of technology on the planet.
The golfing world is still at civil war following the controversial breakaway LIV Tour from the PGA.
But after SunSport revealed a deal between Saudi-backed LIV and the PGA Tour is close, McIlroy reckons Trump’s return to the White House could get it over the line – and the bookies agree with a merger odds-on under his presidency.
McIlroy, who previously said he had regretted a 2017 round he played with Trump, said: “He might be able to.
“He’s got Elon Musk, who I think is the smartest man in the world, beside him.
“We might be able to do something if we can get Musk involved too.
“Obviously Trump has a great relationship with Saudi Arabia, he’s got a great relationship with golf, he’s a lover of golf.
“Given [the] news with what’s happened in America, I think that clears the way a little bit. We’ll see. Who knows.
