2026 Presidents Cup Results: USA Wins 17–13 After Sunday Comeback

The United States won the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club on September 27, defeating the International Team 17–13. A 9.5–2.5 singles session transformed a three-point overnight deficit into a four-point victory, with Jacob Bridgeman securing the decisive point against Min Woo Lee.

The result completed the largest final-day comeback in Presidents Cup history, according to Field Level Media's final report. It also extended the American winning streak to 11 editions. Sunday's nine wins and one tied match added 9.5 points to the Americans' overnight total, overturning the International Team's advantage.

Final Score and Sunday's Turnaround

The Americans won nine singles matches, lost two and halved one. That distribution explains why a competitive three-day contest ended with a much wider final margin: the entire U.S. roster had an individual match on Sunday, and points arrived from across the lineup.

Before singles, the International Team needed five points to reach the 15.5 required for outright victory. The United States needed eight. Even an evenly divided final session would have favored Geoff Ogilvy's team, so the American task required a sustained advantage across several matches, rather than one isolated upset.

Sunday Singles Results

In match-play scoring, 3 & 2 means a player led by three holes with two remaining. A 1-up or 2-up result here was decided over the full 18 holes. Each win earned one team point; Henley and Taylor earned half a point apiece.

Bridgeman Delivered the Winning Point

Bridgeman's match reached the eighteenth hole level. His closing par beat Lee on that hole and settled the trophy in America's favor. Golf Digest's report describes the finish as the decisive moment after Koivun's victory had brought the home side within reach of the winning total.

That distinction separates the match that clinched the competition from the final score. Other matches still contributed to the completed 17–13 result after the trophy had been secured. For Bridgeman, it was a second memorable Sunday in succession, following his Biltmore Championship victory one week earlier.

Koivun's Unbeaten Debut and the International Resistance

Koivun finished his first senior Presidents Cup with two wins and one tie. His 2.5 points came from three appearances, capped by Sunday's victory over Si Woo Kim. The U.S. captain's picks analysis examines how the newcomers contributed alongside the returning selections.

For the International Team, Tom Kim's four points were the highest individual total on either side. His singles win and Sungjae Im's victory supplied the visitors' two full points on Sunday. Those performances sit alongside the team's earlier Friday foursomes sweep, which had established a 7–3 lead.

Medinah therefore leaves two different lessons for the teams. The Americans demonstrated the value of a lineup capable of winning throughout a singles session. The Internationals built a position from which the trophy was available, but could not carry that advantage through the final format.
