It was a question that was asked of Tiger Woods at last week’s Hero World Challenge and it was a question that just happen to pop-up in Melbourne when the 2019 USA Presidents Cup captain hosted a press conference. In twelve months time, the 2019 Presidents Cup will be staged in the week following the Woods hosted Hero World Challenge.

‘Golden Bear’ Jack Nicklaus has expressed his disappointment the Florida-based PGA of America is severing a near 50-year Sunshine State relationship to move lock, stock and barrel to the Lone Star state of Texas.
