World Cup set for Australia’s Royal Melbourne
SYDNEY: Australia will host golf’s revamped US$8mil World Cup at Royal Melbourne in November, tournament organisers and state government officials said yesterday.
A joint announcement by the International Federation of PGA Tours, the Australian state of Victoria and the International Golf Association said the World Cup will be staged on Nov 21-24.
It will be the fourth time the World Cup has been held in Australia with the last one won by the United States at Royal Melbourne in 1988, as part of Australia’s bicentennial celebrations.
Royal Melbourne, which also hosted The Presidents Cup 2011, will stage back-to-back events in November.
The World Cup will be preceded by the Australian Masters, which boasts 2013 Masters winner Adam Scott. — AFP
