Donald Trump participated as honorary chairman on the final round of the Presidents Cup golf tournament held on Sunday at Medinah Country Club. The International team entered the final day with a significant 10.5–7.5 lead. They needed only five points to secure a win against the United States, which would have been their first victory since 1998. However, this did not come to pass. During the event, Trump's unguarded remarks were unexpectedly picked up by a microphone and broadcast. It is unclear what was said, but the incident has gained attention, as the words were not intended for public dissemination. The United States ultimately avoided defeat in the Presidents Cup.
