ORD is a primary international hub.\n\n\n\nChicago Midway International Airport (MDW): Located about 25 miles (40 km) away\, typically a 45–60 minute drive\, offering strong domestic flight options.\n\n\n\n\n\nBy Train: The Chicago-area Metra commuter rail system provides service from Chicago Union Station to the Medinah station on the Milwaukee District West Line (MD-W). The station is very close to the Country Club grounds. This is often the most reliable option to avoid traffic congestion.\n\n\n\nBy Car: The venue is accessible via major interstates and tollways. Due to high volume\, event parking is typically located off-site with mandatory shuttle service to the grounds. Parking passes must be purchased in advance.\n\n\n\nBy Rideshare: Dedicated rideshare zones will be established near the venue\, but expect high surcharges and wait times\, especially during peak hours.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere to Stay During the 2026 Presidents Cup?\n\n\n\nStaying in the Chicago area offers fantastic options\, ranging from luxury downtown hotels to convenient suburban accommodations. \n\n\n\n\nDowntown Chicago: Staying in the Loop\, River North\, or Magnificent Mile provides access to world-class dining\, tourism\, and nightlife. While requiring a slightly longer commute (via Metra train or car/shuttle) to Medinah\, it offers the ultimate big-city experience.\n\n\n\nSuburbs (Near Airport/Venue): Staying in nearby suburbs like Schaumburg\, Oak Brook\, or Itasca offers a shorter commute to the course\, often with easier access to event shuttles and more readily available rooms compared to downtown.\n\n\n\nDuPage County: The county where Medinah is located offers numerous hotels catering to business and regional travelers\, providing a convenient base for the week.\n\n\n\n\nBooking Tips: \n\n\n\n\nBook Your Hotel Early: Chicago is a major metropolitan area\, but accommodation demand will surge for this event.\n\n\n\nPrioritize Transit: If you plan on using the Metra train\, book accommodation near Union Station downtown or in a suburb with direct Metra access.\n\n\n\nCheck Cancellation Policies: Ensure your reservations offer flexibility.\n\n\n\nUse Reputable Booking Sites: Utilise platforms like Tripadvisor to find and compare options.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelpful Links for Planning Your 2026 Presidents Cup Experience\n\n\n\n\nOfficial Presidents Cup 2026 Website\n\n\n\nOfficial Ticket Purchase via Ticketmaster\n\n\n\nPGA TOUR Official Website\n\n\n\nMedinah Country Club Website\n\n\n\nChicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)\n\n\n\nChicago Metra Rail System (Check MD-W line)\n\n\n\nChoose Chicago (Official Tourism Site)
