Where is the next Presidents Cup going to be played in 2026?
As the action at the 2024 Presidents Cup comes to a close, thoughts turn to the next edition and the venue for the 2026 tournament.
The 2024 Presidents Cup has seen plenty of twists and turns with everything possible as the US held a 11-7 lead going into the final day of competition after a long Saturday at Royal Montreal Golf Club.
The U.S. won the final three afternoon foursome matches on Saturday’s action in the quest to become the first team to reach the 15 1/2 points mark to win.
The U.S. secured the day’s final three points when par for Collin Morikawa and Sam Burns was enough on No. 18, so they won 1 up on the Canadian combination of Mackenzie Hughes and Corey Conners followed by victories for Scottie Scheffler / Russell Henley and Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele.
“Really the matches were close today,” U.S. captain Jim Furyk said. “I know what the score looks like. I think the same thing you saw on Thursday, the score looked bad at 5-0, but man, those matches were all really, really tight. They just happened to go our way.”
“We’re going to have to be tenacious out there tomorrow and heroic, actually,” said Scott, who is in his 11th Presidents Cup without a victory.
The U.S. team won three of four matches in four-ball to regain the lead in the morning. The U.S. led 8-6 on the International team going into afternoon foursomes.
Play Saturday was behind schedule due to a weather-related delay of 1 hour, 37 minutes. After the first group completed the first hole and the next group teed off, there was an extended break at 7:23 a.m. because of fog.
The first two days were marked by sweeps. The U.S. went up 5-0 with Thursday’s four-ball matches before the International team pulled even with Friday’s domination in foursomes.
2026 tournament
The competition was established in 1994 and is now held biennially with the next Presidents Cup will be held in 2026 at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois, United States.
The US have won 12 of the tournaments with just one victory for the International Team with the 2003 edition ending in a tie.
