PGA Tour named Donald Trump honorary chairman of the 2026 Presidents Cup, which will be played Sept. 22-27 at Medinah Country Club near Chicago.
Brian Rolapp said the tour asked Trump to take the role to extend the event’s tradition of involving world leaders and to raise its international profile.
Trump accepted in a Truth Social post, saying he plans to attend and greet players from both sides in the 12-man U.S. versus 12-man International team competition.
Brandt Snedeker will captain the Americans and Geoff Ogilvy the International side; Trump previously served as honorary chairman in 2017, when the U.S. won 19-11.
