Monsters of Medinah. With the 2026 @presidentscup at Medinah Country Club less than a year away, captains Brandt Snedeker and Geoff Ogilvy became further acclimated with Chicago by taking some swings on the hallowed @soldierfield turf on Wednesday. They were joined by @chicagobears GM

The Presidents Cup has always been about more than world-class golf. We are proud to support First Tee – Greater Chicago as they continue to empower even more young people through the life skills and values taught by the game of golf.

A game changing day at Soldier Field! The U.S. Team of Brandt Snedeker and Mirah may have won the shootout, but the real winners are the students of First Tee – Greater Chicago.

Just played The Evans at Canal Shores for the first time and I can honestly say I love golf more because of it. The location, the intent, the people, all serving youth golf. Go play it. You’ve never seen nature, city, and purpose meet like this.
