The venue for the 2028 Presidents Cup will be
announced at a later date.
The competition was staged at Royal Melbourne in its three
previous trips to the city in 1998, 2011 and 2019.
The International team defeated the United States in 1998 under
the leadership of the late Peter Thomson, while the United
States won in 2011 and 2019.
"Since the Presidents Cup was first staged in Melbourne in 1998,
Australia and its passionate fanbase have played a leading role
in the growth of the Presidents Cup," said PGA Tour Commissioner
Jay Monahan.
"As the event continues to visit new corners of the globe, we
remain committed to a presence in Melbourne and the Sandbelt
region, a place our players and fans around the world hold in
high regard."
The Presidents Cup returns in September this year at Quail
Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, following a one-year
delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
U.S. Presidents Cup captain Davis Love III on Wednesday named
Zach Johnson and Fred Couples as his assistants Quail Hollow.
Led by playing captain Tiger Woods, the United States beat
Internationals 16-14 at Royal Melbourne in 2019 to claim an
eighth successive Presidents Cup.
The United States has dominated the competition, winning on 11
of the 13 occasions it has been held.
