2026 Presidents Cup moving from San Francisco to Chicago

According to Rex Hoggard of The Golf Channel, the 2026 Presidents Cup is moving from Harding Park in San Francisco to Medinah Country Club near Chicago. The reason for the move is rather interesting because there are reports that there are plans to have a regular PGA event at Harding Park in the not too distant future. The PGA event would be hosted by Golden State Warriors all-star point guard Stephen Curry.

The Medinah Golf Club has hosted some significant golf tournaments in the past. They include three United States Opens (1949, 1975, and 1990), two PGA Championships (1999 and 2006), and the 2012 Ryder Cup.

The most famous of the aforementioned tournaments would probably be the 1999 PGA Championship. The event was won by the great Tiger Woods, who ended up beating Sergio Garcia of Spain by a stroke. However, the golf shot everyone will remember was Garcia’s remarkable approach shot on the 16th hole. Garcia’s ball was sitting at the base of a large oak tree. Garcia then took an awkward swing, and got the ball on the green.

At the 2012 Ryder Cup, Europe was victorious by a score of 14 1/2 to 13 1/2. The top European golfer was Ian Poulter of Hitchin, England, who had a perfect record of four wins and zero losses. Poulter won two foursome matches with Justin Rose, a four ball match with Rory McIlroy, and then beat Webb Simpson two-up in a singles match.

The 2022 Presidents Cup will be in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 2024 Presidents Cup will be in Montreal for the second time. Montreal, Canada previously hosted the Presidents Cup in 2007.
