U.S. completes largest comeback in Presidents Cup history
Summary

The U.S. achieved the biggest final-round comeback in Presidents Cup history on September 27, overcoming a 10.5–7.5 deficit against the International team to secure a 17–13 victory at Medinah Country Club. Early wins from players including Cam Young, Justin Thomas, and Scottie Scheffler sparked the comeback, allowing the U.S. to extend its overall lead in the competition to 14–1–1. Despite raucous crowd behavior, reminiscent of past Ryder Cups, security measures were heightened following the attendance of honorary chairman Donald Trump. The U.S. team now shifts focus to next year’s Ryder Cup in Ireland, while the International team plans for the 2028 Presidents Cup in Australia.
