Australia's Kingston Heath to Host 2016 World Cup of Golf

(Reuters) - Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne will stage this year's World Cup of Golf from Nov. 24-27 when the prestigious two-man event returns to Australia for a fifth time, but for the first occasion away from Royal Melbourne.

In a significant change, organizers have also returned the format to its traditional focus on team play after the 2013 edition at Royal Melbourne controversially put the emphasis on individual competition.

"We are thrilled that a course with the reputation and standing such as Kingston Heath will serve as the tournament's host venue in 2016," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement.
