★ Presidents Cup

01Lý do quan trọng

The Presidents Cup matters most to the players it was invented for: for Australians, South Africans, Japanese, Korean and Latin American professionals it is the only team competition at this level, and the International Team's identity has become a genuine cause within the game. In our reading it sits a clear step below the Ryder Cup in atmosphere and international draw, and it is the better week to actually attend for exactly that reason.

American editions land in a large metropolitan area and are absorbed by it. Chicago in late September 2026 will not notice the event outside the western suburbs, where the DuPage hotel corridor and the towns around Medinah and Itasca will fill.

03Thời điểm đến

Practice days from Tuesday to Wednesday are cheap and quiet; the Thursday opening session is the first day of competition under the current format.

For the 2026 match, the practical bases are the DuPage and northwest suburban hotel clusters around Itasca, Schaumburg and Oak Brook, all within twenty to thirty minutes of the course and with deep capacity, or downtown Chicago, forty-five minutes away and a far better place to spend an evening.

05Tiếp cận và tiếp đón

The PGA Tour sells tickets directly through the competition's own site, with practice-day tickets, individual competition days and weekly options, and it opens sales well ahead of the match. Unlike the Ryder Cup, there is no ballot and general admission is available on ordinary terms, which makes this the most straightforward team event in golf to attend.

06Nơi diễn ra các hoạt động giao lưu

On site, the spectator village, the merchandise pavilion and the grandstands at the closing holes are the public gathering points, along with the first tee, where the team introductions draw the day's largest crowd.

The first match was played in 1994 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia and the competition was conceived as a PGA Tour property from the start, which distinguishes it from the Ryder Cup's joint administration.
