Trump Arrives in Chicago Area for Presidents Cup Golf Tournament
Trump’s appearance as honorary chairman drew protests and counter-demonstrations and prompted heightened security at the course, organizers said.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump arrived at Medinah Country Club in Illinois for the Presidents Cup, serving as honorary chairman and greeting team members before the final round of the biennial golf tournament pitting the United States against international players.
- The honorary chairman position is a tradition offered to the host country's head of state for the Presidents Cup, which began in 1994 to include international players; Trump previously served in this capacity during the 2017 tournament at Liberty National Golf Club.
- Following weekend protests, security was heightened around the course, according to event organizers. Trump addressed the crowd briefly, joking about the "fake news media" and posing for pictures before departing the first tee at Medinah.
- Trump's appearance coincides with political moves ahead of November's midterm elections, including taxpayer-funded commercials touting his record. Fans chanted "four more years" and "USA!" as he waved to the crowd.
- Heading into the final day, the International team leads the United States 10.5-7.5. The tournament concludes Sunday with 12 one-on-one singles matches as the U.S. team seeks a comeback win in the competition they have historically dominated.
