The Presidents Cup is a biennial golf competition between the United States and an International team representing the rest of the world (excluding Europe). The United States had won the previous 10 editions, seeking an 11th straight victory.
The United States completed a thrilling comeback on the final day to beat the Internationals and win an 11th successive Presidents Cup.
The hosts, containing eight of the world's 11 top-ranked players, trailed by three points going into Sunday and were looking to avoid just a second defeat since the biennial competition began 32 years ago.
They dominated the singles, winning nine of the 12 matches, to seal a 17-13 win at Medinah - the scene of Team Europe's famous Ryder Cup comeback win in 2012.
Jacob Bridgeman secured the decisive point by holing a four-foot par putt at the 18th to seal a one-up win over Australia's Min Woo Lee.
There were also wins for Cameron Young, Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, Chris Gotterup, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele and Jackson Koivun.
"I told the guys last night that funny stuff happens here. Medinah's got a history of funny things happening," said US captain Brandt Snedeker, who was a member of the team beaten by Europe in 2012.
"All these guys fought for each other, fought for this country, fought for this team."
International captain Geoff Ogilvy said: "The US team came out firing, we knew they would.
"It was on a knife edge all day. If some of those one downs we had out there had flipped to one up, the numbers looked really good and who knows what momentum that could give."
US President Donald Trump was in attendance in his role as honorary chairman, greeting the players and making a speech before the matches got under way.
