Presidents Cup
Presidents Cup takes place Late Sep 2028 (dates TBC) in Medinah, USA. The dress code is Smart casual. Layers for crisp Chicago autumn mornings that warm through the day, and comfortable shoes for a long walk on a big, rolling property. Typical cost ranges from 500 to 2500 EUR per person.
The biennial team match between the United States and an International side drawn from everywhere except Europe, filling the even years between Ryder Cups. The 2026 edition is at Medinah Country Club's Course No. 3 outside Chicago, a course recently reworked and long associated with major championship golf. The mood is noticeably warmer and less tribal than the Ryder Cup, which makes it a far more relaxed spectating week.

How to attend
General admission and weekly grounds tickets are sold directly to the public at presidentscup.com with no ballot, and they are already on sale for 2026. Practice days early in the week are the cheapest entry point, and hospitality options including the Captains' Club are sold separately. Metra rail plus a short rideshare works from central Chicago if you would rather not drive.
Insider tip
Because the format sends every match out in waves, Friday and Saturday sessions give you far more golf per ticket than Sunday singles - and the Tuesday and Wednesday practice days are the cheapest way onto Medinah's No. 3 course.
