Australia to host 2028 and 2040 Presidents Cup
April 16, 2022
According to the Associated Press on Thursday, Australia will host the 2028 and 2040 Presidents Cup. The event features the best players from the United States versus the best players from the rest of the world except Europe.
Australia has hosted three Presidents Cup events in the past–in 1998, 2011, and 2019. All events have been at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club. The 1998 Presidents Cup was noteworthy because it was the only time the International Team was victorious. Captained by Australian Peter Thomson, the Internationals beat the United States 20.5 to 11.5. The top international player was Shigeki Maruyama of Japan, who won all five of his matches.
The 2011 Presidents Cup was won by the United States by a score of 19-15. Fred Couples was the winning captain, while the top American player was Jim Furyk, who like Maruyama 13 years earlier, had a perfect record of five wins and zero losses.

The 2019 Presidents Cup happened right before coronavirus started to be a worldwide pandemic. This was the Tiger Woods show. The golf icon not only was the captain, but played as well. He had a record of three wins and zero losses.
Australian golf fans will be hoping that Cameron Smith will be competing in 2028. He has had an unbelievable 2022 golf season so far winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the Players Championship. Smith is also now fifth in the world.
There will be one more Presidents Cup that will take place outside of the United States before the 2028 Presidents Cup in Australia. That will be the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal, Canada.
