Bellerive Country Club to Host 2030 Presidents Cup
St. Louis destination will host international event for the first time
Posted On: November 4, 2021 By :Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis will be the host for the 18th Presidents Cup in 2030, becoming the seventh venue in the United States to host the biennial global team competition since it started in 1994.
Bellerive adds the Presidents Cup to its history of hosting prestigious events dating to the 1965 U.S. Open won by Gary Player to complete his career grand slam. Since then, Bellerive welcomed the 1981 U.S. Mid-Amateur; two PGA Championships (1992, 2018); the 2001 World Golf Championships-American Express Championship (which was cancelled following the September 11 attacks); the 2004 U.S. Senior Open; the 2008 BMW Championship; and the 2013 Senior PGA Championship. Most recently, Brooks Koepka won the 2018 PGA Championship at Bellerive, where he held off Tiger Woods to claim his third career major championship title.
“St. Louis is a passionate and iconic sports town and one which embraces teams and events such as the Presidents Cup with tremendous enthusiasm,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said. “The combination of St. Louis and Bellerive Country Club will make for a memorable experience for fans onsite and those watching around the world.”
Bellerive Country Club will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2022. The Club was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., in 1960 and dubbed the “Green Monster of Ladue” for its distances. The course underwent a major renovation in 2005 followed by strategic renovations in 2013 and 2019, all of which were led by Jones’ son, Rees.
“Bellerive is thrilled to host the 2030 Presidents Cup and once again showcase the best golfers in the world in St. Louis,” said Bellerive Country Club President Rick Walsh. “It will be an incredible event for the community, fans and players, and a great celebration of St. Louis.”
The Presidents Cup was last played in 2019 at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club, which saw the U.S. rally on the final day to beat the International Team. The Presidents Cup will return in 2022 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, September 20–25, following a one-year delay due to the pandemic.
Bellerive Country Club will be the seventh golf course in the United States to host the Presidents Cup, joining Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Prince William County, Virginia (1994, 1996, 2000, 2005); TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California (2009, 2025); Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio (2013); Liberty National in Jersey City, New Jersey (2017); and Quail Hollow Club (2022).
