The 16th Presidents Cup is Thursday, September 24 through Sunday, September 27, 2026 at Medinah Country Club’s Course No. 3 in Medinah, Illinois, about 30 minutes west of Chicago. Brandt Snedeker captains a United States team headed by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler; Geoff Ogilvy captains an International side led by Hideki Matsuyama, Adam Scott and Si Woo Kim. The Americans have lost the Cup only once since it began in 1994 and won 18.5 to 11.5 at Royal Montreal in 2024. There is no Ryder Cup in 2026; the next one is September 2027 at Adare Manor in Ireland.
