NOTE: This is part 2 of a 2 part series on the upcoming renovation at Medinah, and the club being awarded the 2026 Presidents Cup. Immediate past club president of Medinah, Michael Scimo spoke with Golfers on Golf, about what’s been the clubs path over the last 13 months, and what it could be leading into championship week of 2026. Scimo also served as the clubs “bid leader” in attempting to being the event to the club.

THE PRESIDENTS CUP is coming to Medinah Country Club in 2026.

MEDINAH COUNTRY CLUB will host the 2026 Presidents Cup, in what will be the next “major” golf championship in Chicago.

So it’s too bad it’s still almost six years away.

But what did it take to land the 2026 matches. And what will happen to Medinah’s famed #3 championship course before 2026.

Because what will happen is that at some point, likely 2022, Medinah’s Championship Course #3 will start to under-go a renovation by OCM golf design. OCM is based in Melbourne Australia and has done one project in America, Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth Texas.

(See part 1 of this story for more details on the renovation, that ran on Monday).

The good news is that the next major golf event in the Chicago area, in now on calendar for September of 2026.

The famed Medinah Country Club clubhouse.

In-spite of the outcome, thousands of golf and sports fans had a great time the week of the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah. So since then, the question has been, when is the Ryder Cup coming back again.

Unfortunately the next available Ryder Cup on American soil is 2037.

But the Presidents Cup is team styled matches like the Ryder Cup, that puts the USA, against countries that are not a part of the Ryder Cup.

CLICK HERE to hear the interview with Michael Scimo of Medinah Country Club. Scimo served as the clubs bid leader for the 2026 President’s Cup.

Scimo explains what stood out to the club about the Presidents Cup. And how it will make yet another great chapter in the clubs rich golf history.
