Presidents Cup Returning to Melbourne in 2019

INCHEON, South Korea — Melbourne will host the 2019 edition of the Presidents Cup, as well as next year's World Cup of Golf, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem announced on Saturday.

The biennial Presidents Cup, which pits the United States against a team of International golfers minus Europeans, returns to American soil in 2017 at Liberty National in New Jersey before moving to Melbourne two years later.

"The state of Victoria in Australia will serve as the host for the World Cup in 2016 and the Presidents Cup in 2019," Finchem said at a news conference.

"The venue for both events will be at one of the very many Melbourne premier golf courses in the sandbelt region.
