The Course #3 at the club famously hosted the
2012 Ryder Cup, where Europe pulled off a remarkable comeback to
beat the U.S., and has also been the venue for two PGA
Championships and three U.S. Opens.
The Presidents Cup is a biennial match-play competition which
pits a 12-man team from the U.S. against international players
from outside Europe.
"As the significance of the Presidents Cup continues to grow, we
look forward to showcasing the 2026 event from... a storied
venue in Medinah Country Club," PGA Tour commissioner Jay
Monahan said in a statement.
"One year ago, we saw an influx of great young talent on the
International Team taking on a very experienced U.S. Team that
resulted in a dramatic four days of competition for our fans
throughout the world.
"I fully expect that competitive momentum to continue in the
coming years."
The United States have won the last eight editions, with a team
led by captain Tiger Woods beating a side captained by Ernie Els
16-14 at Royal Melbourne last year.
In conjunction with this year's Ryder Cup being postponed due to
the COVID-19 outbreak, the 2021 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow
Club in Charlotte, North Carolina was moved to 2022. The event
will return to Royal Montreal Golf Club in 2024.
