There are rumors that the 2011 Presidents Cup will be returning to Australia with the chosen course again being the Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Can anybody confirm this ???

The Presidents Cup will be held at Royal Montreal in 2007, which is a shorter trip than going to the West Coast, and the prevailing sentiment is to return to Virginia’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in 2009.

After that, it could be headed Down Under.

Australian officials met with the PGA Tour brass during the Presidents Cup with hopes of getting the matches in 2011, the next available date on foreign soil. One group was from the state of New South Wales, and the other was from Victoria.

“Both met with us, and they would very much like to sit down with us about having the Presidents Cup in 2011,” said Mike Bodney, the tour’s senior vice president of championship management.

Bodney said it was too early to decide where the Presidents Cup is headed. Tour officials would like to plan further out than two years, without getting too far into the future like the Ryder Cup (get your tickets now to the 2020 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits).
