Trump Attends Presidents Cup; Dueling Protests Held Outside Medinah Country Club
Trump’s appearance came as the United States rallied from a three-point deficit and won 17-13, with Jacob Bridgeman securing the clinching point.
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, President Donald Trump attended the final round of the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club near Chicago, serving as the tournament's honorary chairman.
Trump accepted an invitation from the PGA Tour to serve as honorary chairman, continuing a tradition where host-country heads of state participate in the biennial golf competition.
Organizers and the U.S. Secret Service implemented multi-layer security including TSA-style screening checkpoints as roughly 35,000 spectators were expected daily at Medinah.
Team USA rallied to defeat the International squad 17-13 in Sunday's singles matches, with Trump presenting the Presidents Cup trophy to U.S. Captain Brandt Snedeker.
Public reaction to Trump's visit was mixed, with supporters and protesters gathering outside Medinah, while an attendee allegedly shouted an obscenity at the president during opening remarks.
