Liberty National in New Jersey has been chosen to host the 2017 Presidents Cup, the PGA Tour has announced.

The 11th edition of the biennial matchplay tournament  - which sees the United States take on an international team without Europeans - will take place in South Korea next year before it returns to American soil in 2017.

"We've had several very compelling announcements relative to the future of The Presidents Cup so far this summer," said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.

"But standing in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty today to announce Liberty National as our next US-based host of the event is really icing on the cake.

"The Presidents Cup has come so far in its relatively short history, and seeing the world's best players compete in this market, on this incredibly fantastic venue with such an amazing backdrop in 2017 is something fans of this great game will never forget."

Dream

America has won all but two of the Presidents Cups held since the tournament's debut in 1994, with an international win in Melbourne in 1998 and a draw in South Africa in 2003.

Fred Couples captained the USA to a 18.5-15.5 win in Ohio last year with Jay Haas taking over as skipper in 2015 and Nick Price leading the international team for a second time.

"Being chosen by the PGA Tour to host the 2017 Presidents Cup is every golf course's dream," said Liberty National co-founder Paul Fireman.

"We at Liberty National Golf Club are proud to receive this honour and will dedicate our efforts to live up to both the Tour and the players' expectations."

The Presidents Cup announcement came as the PGA Tour unveiled a 25-year agreement with Liberty National which hosted The Barclays in 2009 and 2013.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
