Royal Melbourne Golf Club is widely regarded as Australia’s most prestigious, exclusive, oldest and celebrated golf club. It is located just south of the main urbanized area of Melbourne. Its two courses are each ranked amongst the best in the world by many international golf course ranking bodies and publications. Royal Melbourne has hosted numerous national and international events, most famously the 1959 Canada Cup (now Mission Hills World Cup), and the 1970 World Cup. It was selected by the PGA Tour to hold the Presidents Cup, for the first time outside the United States, in December 1998. The match was convincingly won by the World team, captained by Peter Thomson, who had himself earlier served as the Club professional at Royal Melbourne. The course will also host the Presidents Cup in 2011
