Presidents Cup 2026 Tickets: Prices by Day

Grounds admission is sold by the day, not by the week. The prices below are the cheapest all in resale entry for each day, checked September 9, 2026. All in means taxes and fees are already included, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.

Day	Matches	Cheapest all in ticket
Tue, Sep 22	Practice round	About $56
Wed, Sep 23	Practice round	About $56
Thu, Sep 24	Round 1, five matches	About $126
Fri, Sep 25	Round 2, five matches	About $150
Sat, Sep 26	Rounds 3 and 4, eight matches	About $150
Sun, Sep 27	Round 5, 12 singles	About $147

Compare carefully. Some marketplaces advertise a lower headline price, as low as $48 for a practice day, then add taxes and fees at checkout. Judge every site on the final total, not the number on the listing page.

Three things stand out this week. Practice days stay cheap because no points are on the line, so Tuesday and Wednesday are the value play for families and first timers. Saturday is now the priciest competition day on most sites, which makes sense because it is the only day with two full sessions and eight matches. Sunday has softened over the past week and currently sits close to Thursday, so the closing singles are no longer the automatic premium day.

Prices move daily. If your day is above budget, check again in the final week, when resale listings usually grow as travel plans change.

What Each Ticket Type Includes

Grounds ticket

The standard pass. It provides access to the tournament grounds and all venues open to the public. Food and drink are pay as you go. For most fans this is the right ticket, because match play moves in a pack and walking with a group beats sitting still. Available every day of the week.

Captains’ Club featuring Michelob ULTRA

A shared open air venue with 360 degree views of holes 3, 4 and 5. It has a two level sports bar with beer, seltzers and non alcoholic drinks included. Wine, spirits and premium food cost extra. Pick this if you want a guaranteed base and shade rather than a full day on your feet. Still available on all six days.

International Club

An open air venue above Lake Kadijah with sightlines to holes 9, 10, 11 and 12, plus local and international themed food and upgraded drinks. Thursday, Friday and Saturday are sold out. Only Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday remain on official sale, so book Sunday early if you want it.

The 1924 Club

The top tier, available Wednesday through Sunday and based in the Course No. 1 clubhouse. It covers several rooms, including the Camel Social sports lounge, a Taittinger champagne and raw bar lounge, fireside all day dining and a private viewing deck at the 15th. It is sold by application rather than at a listed price, and every child needs their own ticket here.

Medinah also sells private corporate hospitality, including Presidential Suites at the 14th green, Windy City Suites and the Kadijah Club on the 12th fairway, Terrace Suites, Hillside Suites and Skyline Tables from Thursday to Sunday. All are priced on enquiry.

How to Buy Presidents Cup 2026 Tickets

• Buy from the source. PresidentsCup.com sends you to Ticketmaster, the official primary and resale platform for this event.
• Load your pass early. Tickets are managed in your Ticketmaster account. Add them to your phone wallet before you leave home, because cell service at Medinah will be slow with a full crowd.
• Limit of six per day. Each guest may buy up to six tickets per day, per transaction. There is no cap on how many different days you buy.
• Compare the final total. Fee structures differ between resale sites, so a cheaper listing can end up dearer at checkout.
• Avoid screenshots and PDFs. Any seller offering a printout or an emailed image is a red flag. Transfers must arrive through Ticketmaster.
• Need help? Ticket support is on 1-800-404-7887 or ticketsupport@pgatourhq.com.

Elevate is the preferred sales agent in the United States for experiential and travel packages at this Presidents Cup. Its hotel and ticket bundles start near $260 for grounds admission, around $461 with the Captains’ Club and around $862 with the International Club. A hotel only booking starts near $189 per person.

They cost more than buying separately, but they lock in a room in a market where Chicago rates spike that week.

Kids Get In Free

Two youths aged 15 and under are admitted to the grounds free of charge with each ticketed adult. No advance registration is needed. The rule tightens inside hospitality: youth over 6 need their own ticket for select premium venues, and all ages need a ticket for The 1924 Club. That makes the two practice days the cheapest realistic family outing of the week.

Parking, Metra and Rideshare

Parking is not included with any ticket and cannot be bought at the gate. General passes start at $17 plus taxes and fees, are digital, and must be reserved in advance. Three lots run Tuesday to Sunday, each with a shuttle of roughly 10 to 20 minutes to the West Entrance.

• Black Lot: 225 Windsor, Itasca. The official listing says Windsor Ave, but Itasca has no Windsor Ave, so search Windsor Drive in your map app or navigation will fail.
• Green Lot: 425 Fawell Blvd, Glen Ellyn (College of DuPage)
• Red Lot: 251 N. Martingale Rd, Schaumburg
• Train: the Metra MD-W line runs from Chicago Union Station to Medinah Station, with a complimentary shuttle to the West Entrance. This is the easiest option from downtown.
• Pace bus: routes 714 and 715 serve College of DuPage at the Green Lot, but there is no weekend service on Saturday or Sunday.
• Rideshare: drop off and pick up is at Eaglewood Resort & Spa, 1401 Nordic Road, walking distance from the East Entrance.

Lot by lot detail and shuttle timings are on our Presidents Cup parking and transportation page.

Gate Times and Tee Times

Gates follow the first tee of each session, so opening times swing by more than three hours across the week. All times are Central.

Day	Gates open	Tee times
Tue, Sep 22	9:00 a.m.	Practice, TBD
Wed, Sep 23	9:00 a.m.	Practice, TBD
Thu, Sep 24	9:00 a.m.	11:35 a.m. to 12:47 p.m.
Fri, Sep 25	10:00 a.m.	1:05 p.m. to 2:01 p.m.
Sat, Sep 26	6:30 a.m.	7:02 to 7:56 a.m., then 1:15 to 1:57 p.m.
Sun, Sep 27	9:00 a.m.	11:02 a.m. to 1:19 p.m.

Saturday is the long day. Gates at 6:30 a.m. and a 1:57 p.m. final tee means roughly twelve hours of golf if you stay to the last putt. Snedeker has confirmed four-ball for Round 1 on Thursday.

What You Can Bring

Every person and bag is searched at entry. Bag check may not be provided, and anything oversized has to go back to your vehicle before you board a shuttle, so leave doubtful items at home.

• Bags: one personal bag up to 6 by 6 by 6 inches, which does not have to be clear at that size. Larger clear plastic or vinyl bags are allowed up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, as is a one gallon clear resealable bag. Backpacks are banned, including clear ones, along with mesh bags, camera cases, chair bags and coolers.
• Allowed: a collapsible chair without a bag, an umbrella without a sleeve, binoculars without a case, sunscreen, and a reusable bottle up to 32 ounces that must be empty on the way in and on the way out. No glass and no drinks carried in or out.
• Cameras: standalone still cameras are permitted on practice days only, with a lens under six inches and no case. Phone photos and video stay allowed all week, including competition days.
• Chairs: all portable chairs must be removed from the course each night.

Phones are welcome. Keep them on silent with the flash off, take calls only in the designated areas, and shoot photos or video for personal use. Live streaming and shot by shot coverage are banned, and breaking the policy can cost you your ticket.

FAQ about 2026 Presidents Cup Tickets

Presidents Cup 2026 tickets are best booked now rather than at the gate, because Medinah sells no walk up admission and parking must be reserved ahead.

If you want atmosphere on a budget, take a practice day and bring the kids free. If you want the loudest golf of the week, Saturday gives you two sessions and eight matches, and Sunday singles is currently the cheapest way into a day that could decide the Cup.

Either way, buy through Ticketmaster, compare the final total including fees, load the pass into your phone wallet before you travel, and reserve parking in the same sitting.
