Presidents Cup 2026 Tee Times, TV Schedule, Format & How To Watch
Full tee times, TV coverage and schedule as Team USA and the Internationals go head-to-head at Medinah.
The 2026 Presidents Cup is almost upon us, with the United States and International teams preparing to battle it out at Medinah Country Club in Illinois.
Brandt Snedeker's Team USA will be looking to extend the Americans' extraordinary dominance in the biennial contest, having won the last 10 Presidents Cups in a row.
The United States have won 13 of the 15 Presidents Cups staged since the competition began in 1994. The International team won in 1998, while the 2003 contest finished in a tie.
Geoff Ogilvy's Internationals are therefore looking for only their second outright victory in the history of the competition, and their first since that triumph in Australia 28 years ago.
On paper, the challenge looks a tough one again, with eight of the world's top 24 players representing the United States based on the world rankings heading into the contest.
But the Presidents Cup is all about team golf, with fourballs, foursomes and singles making up the 30 matches across four days.
Before we check out the tee times and format, here's a look at the complete 2026 Presidents Cup teams at Medinah.
