\t\t\t\tHere\u2019s everything you need to know as 24 players from the United States and the rest of the world head to Medinah for the 16th Presidents Cup\u2026<\/p>\n

Can the International team win the Presidents Cup for just a second time, or are we expecting another walk in the park and an 11th title in a row for the United States? We almost certainly already know the answer \u2013 but, just in case, let\u2019s do this anyway\u2026<\/p>\n

2026 Presidents Cup key details<\/p>\n

Dates:\u00a0September 24-27
Venue:\u00a0Medinah Country Club, Illinois, USA
Course:\u00a0Par 72 \u2013 7,564 yards
Defending champions: USA (18\u00bd-11\u00bd)<\/p>\n

2026 Presidents Cup teams<\/p>\n

US captain Brandt Snedeker caused quite a stir with his selection when he left out Ben Griffin and JJ Spaun, who had finished 8th and 10th respectively in the qualification standings, for out of sorts Patrick Cantlay and young hotshot Jackson Koivun. <\/p>\n

International skipper Geoff Ogilvy was also accused of not doing himself any favors when he ditched Casey Jarvis, Jayden Schaper and Aldrich Potgeiter \u2013 who have won six PGA and DP World Tour titles between them in the last year \u2013 to include Christiaan Bezuidenhout, who hasn\u2019t lifted a trophy for more than half a decade. <\/p>\n

Of course, it doesn\u2019t help that Ogilvy was not allowed to turn to a number of LIV Golf stars who would have unquestionably made his team stronger, including Joaquin Niemann, Cam Smith and Lucas Herbert, among others.<\/p>\n

Anyway, you can meet the teams and see their Presidents Cup records here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2026 Presidents Cup prize money<\/p>\n

Players are not paid to play in the Presidents Cup, nor is there any prize money. However, each of the 24 competitors is allocated an equal portion of the profits made from the tournament to donate to a charity of his choice. <\/p>\n

According to the President\u2019s Cup website: \u201cSince the inception of the Presidents Cup in 1994, more than $56 million has been generated from event proceeds.
