Witness History at Medinah Country Club
The 2026 Presidents Cup is coming to Chicago, and your arrival should match the occasion.
From September 22–27, the world's elite golfers will descend on Medinah Country Club for the 16th edition of the Presidents Cup, one of golf's most prestigious international team competitions. Captain Brandt Snedeker leads the U.S. Team against Geoff Ogilvy's International squad on the newly redesigned Course No. 3, a 7,564-yard, par-72 masterpiece that has hosted the Ryder Cup, multiple U.S. Opens, PGA Championships, and the BMW Championship.
This is the fifth time a U.S. venue has hosted the Presidens Cup, and Chicago is pulling out all the stops. Five themed fan zones inspired by the city's culture will be scattered across the grounds. The Captains' Club featuring Michelob ULTRA offers 360-degree views of holes 3, 4, and 5 from a dual-level open-air sports bar. Hospitality suites at Eaglewood Resort and Spa combine luxury accommodations with all-access experiences throughout competition days.
But before you even set foot on the grounds, there's the matter of getting there.
Don’t Fall Short on the Approach…
If you've ever driven to Medinah during a major event, you already know: the roads surrounding the club become a parking lot. Shuttles from general lots run 10 to 20 minutes each way. The energy you saved all week for this moment gets spent sitting in your car.
Vertiport Chicago offers a different path.
A first-class experience deserves a first-class arrival. Vertiport Chicago can coordinate private air taxi transportation to Schaumburg Regional Airport, helping you avoid traffic and arrive closer to the action with more time to enjoy the tournament.
Whether you're coming from the city, the suburbs, or beyond, we have departure options that work:
Vertiport Chicago (downtown)
DuPage Airport
Chicago Executive Airport
Gary, Indiana
Tinley Park, Illinois
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Rockford, Illinois
Peoria, Illinois
Pickup from select private properties may also be available, subject to property owner approval and operational requirements.
First-Class on the Ground, Too
A moment this significant deserves more than a rideshare from the tarmac. When you land at Schaumburg Regional, we provide complimentary ground transportation in a black SUV directly to Medinah Country Club.
Want to make an even bigger statement? Upgrade your ground transfer to a Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Maybach, or Ferrari for an additional charge. The Presidents Cup deserves a fitting entrance.
Why This Matters
The Presidents Cup doesn't come to Chicago often. The last time Medinah hosted an event of this magnitude was the 2012 Ryder Cup, remembered as one of the greatest comebacks in golf history. Course No. 3 was fully redesigned by OCM in 2024, featuring larger greens, expansive bunkers, wider fairways, and sweeping open vistas framed by long fescue rough. This is a new course with a historic soul, and the world will be watching.
Competition days run Thursday through Sunday, with Opening Ceremonies preceding the first tee time on Thursday morning. Gates open at 9:00 AM each day, and play continues until sunset. Whether you're there for a single day or the entire week, arriving rested, relaxed, and on time changes everything about the experience.
