Story summary

The 2026 Presidents Cup golf competition concluded with Team USA securing a 17-13 victory over the International team at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago. Prior to the final day's play, Team USA had trailed by 10.5 points, but they rallied on Sunday to win nine of the twelve singles matches and claim their eleventh consecutive Presidents Cup title. President Donald Trump attended as honorary chairman, addressing the crowd briefly before the start of the matches and receiving both support from fans and protests from opponents outside the venue. The tournament's history shows that Team USA had never previously faced such a deficit heading into Sunday play; this comeback was described by Trump as "a great victory." With eight of the world's top 11 golfers on their roster, the American team managed to outperform their international counterparts despite entering with a significant disadvantage. This marked another instance where Trump received credit for sports victories during his presidency, even though his direct influence on the game remains debatable. Protests against Trump were held alongside demonstrations supporting him as he visited Chicago for the event. Overall, it was a dramatic turn of events that highlighted Medinah's historical significance in golf competition history.
