Medinah

South Korean golfer Tom Kim is reportedly planning to head straight from the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah to the Asian Games, where a gold medal would exempt him from South Korea's mandatory military service. The scheduling clash puts the prestigious team event and a life-changing national obligation on a collision course, and golf fans are debating how he should handle it.

President Donald Trump appeared Sunday at the Presidents Cup golf tournament at the Medinah Country Club in suburban Chicago, Illinois. His attendance drew attention to the international golf event, which pits teams from the United States against an international squad, and typically draws security and media interest when a sitting president visits.
