Why Tennis Australia Is Running the Next Presidents Cup in 2028
The 2028 Presidents Cup will take place in Melbourne.
Tennis Australia is set to take charge of the logistics for the next Presidents Cup in 2028, held at the Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne, according to the organization that oversees the Australian Open. This marks the first time the PGA Tour, the governing body for the Presidents Cup, will outsource such extensive operations to another country.
Joe Tomek, the executive director for the 2028 Presidents Cup, explained that it was more efficient to utilize a partner with built-in infrastructure, staff, and credibility. The 2028 event will be the inaugural project of Tennis Australia's newly formed events enterprise. While the Australian Open typically draws over 300,000 fans, the Presidents Cup's smaller scale—projected to draw around 120,000 in 2019—will still generate significant demand from sports enthusiasts.
The 2028 Presidents Cup is scheduled to take place in Adelaide in late November or early December, right before or after the Australian Open. This timing could create a substantial U.S. versus international golf showdown, particularly as the latter country aims to secure its first-ever victory since 1998.
