Why is Kingston Heath hosting the 2028 Presidents Cup?

Kingston Heath sits a few minutes from Royal Melbourne on Australia's Sandbelt and will make Melbourne the fourth city to host the event, tying Gainesville, Virginia, for the most. Dan Soutar laid out the course in the 1920s, and Alister MacKenzie refined its bunkering in 1926, fresh off his work at Royal Melbourne, with construction led by green-keeper Mick Morcom. The course has hosted seven Australian Opens and several Australian Masters, most recently in 2012, when Adam Scott — a potential International captain for 2028 — won on his home Sandbelt turf.

Two new venues in two cycles is the Presidents Cup finally outgrowing its short list of host courses.

What is the history of Bellerive Country Club?

Bellerive Country Club, founded in 1897, will become the fifth different U.S. venue for the Presidents Cup in 2030. The course the Cup will play dates to 1960, when Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed a new 18 holes west of St. Louis that became known as the "Green Monster of Ladue." His son, Rees Jones, led a $9.5 million renovation in 2005-06 that rebuilt bunkers, tightened fairways and added water at the second hole. Bellerive previously hosted the 1965 U.S. Open, where Gary Player completed the career Grand Slam, the 1992 PGA Championship, and the 2018 PGA Championship, won by Brooks Koepka.
