Trump Attends Presidents Cup as U.S. Trails in Singles

Donald Trump attended the final day of the Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club on Sunday, September 27, and spoke briefly to spectators before the singles matches began. The U.S. team entered the session trailing the International team 10.5-7.5. A post-event account reported that the Americans won the competition 17-13, taking nine of 12 singles matches, though that final result is not independently confirmed in the supplied accounts. Trump, honorary chairman of the 2026 tournament, arrived at the course outside Chicago as the teams prepared for the decisive session. Spectators welcomed him with cheers and chants of “USA,” while another account also noted some boos and jeers. He acknowledged the crowd and made brief remarks from the first tee before attention returned to the golfers. Trump joked about how his reception would be described and said spectators wanted to watch golf rather than hear speeches. One account put his remarks at about 60 seconds; another described them as short without specifying a duration.
