 The course, which opened in 2006, is located along the Hudson
River in Jersey City and offers views of the Statue of Liberty,
Ellis Island and the Manhattan skyline.
The PGA Tour said the Presidents Cup is part of a 25-year agreement
with the course which could bring up to 10 events to the venue.
The Presidents Cup, a team matchplay event, is held every other year
and pits the United States against the International team, made up
of players from outside Europe and the United States.
"The Presidents Cup has come so far in its relatively short history,
and seeing the world's best players compete in this market, on this
incredibly fantastic venue with such an amazing backdrop in 2017 is
something fans of this great game will never forget," PGA Tour
commissioner Tim Finchem said.
