Chicago Gears Up for the 2026 Presidents Cup!
Get ready, Chicago! The 2026 Presidents Cup is just around the corner, set to take place from September 22-27 at the iconic Medinah Country Club. This exciting team competition, which features players from the United States going head-to-head with the International Team, has golf fans buzzing with anticipation.
What’s at Stake?
While the Presidents Cup might not carry the same weight as the Ryder Cup, it is a cherished event among players, captains, and passionate fans alike, especially for international competitors. This year, we are thrilled to announce that Geoff Ogilvy will be leading the charge for the International Team, and New Zealand’s very own Ryan Fox is eager to earn a spot on the squad.
Ryan Fox, who’s been making waves after an impressive 2025 season, is eyeing the Presidents Cup as a major milestone in his career. The golfer made headlines by clinching two PGA Tour victories — at the Myrtle Beach Classic and the Canadian Open. He also secured a place in the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings, narrowly missing out on a coveted spot in the Tour Championship. With his sights set on both the Presidents Cup and the Tour Championship, Fox is determined to make his mark.
Fox’s Momentum
At 38 years old, Fox has emerged from a challenging first full season on the PGA Tour to find his rhythm and confidence. He is not just looking to participate; he wants to compete fiercely for a selection on Ogilvy’s team amid a growing pool of skilled players also vying for those coveted spots.
The excitement surrounding the Presidents Cup also extends beyond the golf course. The event plays a significant role in community support, recently announcing a generous $250,000 donation to the DuPage County Crisis Recovery Center (CRC). This vital facility in Wheaton, Illinois, opened its doors in September 2025 and is already making a difference, providing round-the-clock behavioral health crisis care for both youth and adults.
Event Details and Ticket Information
Now, let’s talk about the tournament itself! General admission tickets have been made available since September 9, 2025, starting at just $50 for practice rounds, with competition day tickets ranging from $100-$135. For those who’d like a premium experience, the Captains’ Club and International Club offer luxury options starting at $200 and $500 respectively.
Joie Chitwood, the executive director of the 2026 Presidents Cup, has high hopes for ticket sales, reporting that premium sales are already at 75% of their goal and general admission is at 40%. The event is expected to attract around 200,000 attendees throughout the week, celebrating an event steeped in golf history.
Captains Announced
In an exciting twist, the U.S. Team will be captained by Brandt Snedeker, who brings his experience from previous Presidents Cups and other golf events. Snedeker has an impressive record from the 2013 Presidents Cup and has served in various leadership roles in the past. On the other hand, Ogilvy is no stranger to this competition either, having participated three times and having overseen upgrades to Medinah’s Course No. 3.
As the countdown begins, Chicago is ready to showcase its rich golfing heritage, having previously hosted numerous high-stakes championships including the Ryder Cup in 2012 and other prestigious titles.
Prepare to enjoy a week filled with thrilling matches, vibrant crowds, and community spirit as the golf world’s lights turn to Medinah Country Club for the Presidents Cup in 2026!
