The Presidents Cup is returning to the Melbourne Sandbelt after Kingston Heath Golf Club was revealed as host of the 2028 teams' event.

The PGA Tour and the Presidents Cup made the announcement on Tuesday that The International team will host the USA at Kingston Heath for the first time.

It marks the event's fourth staging in Melbourne, with the PGA Tour having previously announced a long-term commitment with Visit Victoria to hold the Presidents Cup in Melbourne in 2028 and 2040.

The Presidents Cup was played at Royal Melbourne in 1998, 2011 and 2019.

Consistently ranked as one of the top courses in Australia and around the world, Kingston Heath was designed by Australia's Dan Soutar and features a natural bunkering layout spearheaded by legendary architect Alister Mackenzie in 1926.

The club has hosted seven Australian Opens, including last year when it was joint-host with Victoria Golf Club.

Kingston Heath will represent the fifth international venue to host the Presidents Cup, joining The Royal Melbourne Golf Club (1998, 2011, 2019); The Links at Fancourt Hotel and Country Club Estate (2003); The Royal Montreal Golf Club (2007, 2024); and Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea (2015).

The 15th edition of the Presidents Cup will be held from September 24-29 next year at The Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Canada.
