Trump to chair 2026 Presidents Cup

10 sourcesUpdated Aug 29, 2026

Donald Trump has accepted a second stint as honorary chairman of the Presidents Cup, this time for the 2026 event at Medinah Country Club in Chicago, with the tournament scheduled for September 22-27. The announcement, posted on Truth Social, states that Trump accepted at the request of the PGA Tour and Commissioner Brian Rolapp and praised both teams as “loaded with talent.” The Presidents Cup, a biennial competition between the United States and an International team, will feature U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker and International captain Geoff Ogilvy, while the U.S. team currently holds a dominant historical lead. Medinah has hosted major past events and is set to host the 2026 edition, which follows Trump’s 2017 presidency-era role as honorary chairman at Liberty National. Several articles note the event’s charitable framing and its aim to elevate golf on the international stage, though coverage also reflects political commentary surrounding Trump’s involvement. This marks Trump as one of the few leaders to chair the Presidents Cup twice, following prior chairmanships and other political figures’ involvement in golf-world leadership roles.

Judge dismisses X suit over NY hate law

US District Judge John Cronan dismissed Elon Musk's X lawsuit seeking to strike down New York's Stop Hiding Hate Act, holding that requiring disclosure of content-moderation practices is a legitimate, factual obligation and not a First Amendment violation. The law, signed by Governor Hochul in December 2024 and backed by NY Attorney General Letitia James, could impose civil fines up to $15,000 per day for noncompliance, and X has argued it would curb platform speech.
