When Greg Norman and Tiger Woods were pitted against each other in the singles matches of the 1998 Presidents Cup, pride and their place in golf history went on the line.
How can the underdog International team wrest the Presidents Cup from a dominant American side? By playing better, of course. But the galleries at Royal Melbourne can play their part, too.
Evin Priest sat down with 15-time Major winner Tiger Woods days before the golf great captured a record-equalling 82nd PGA Tour victory at the Zozo Championship in Japan. Woods opened up in an exclusive Q&A about his love of Australia, its sporting culture and his “favourite” golf courses on the planet.
Complicating the adjustment process even more is the fact that just a handful of the American players have ever seen Royal Melbourne, the site of the only International victory in Presidents Cup history in 1998.
The smoke has cleared, figuratively if not literally, and the make-up of yet another Jason Day-less national championship has more clarity even if the skies above The Australian Golf Club do not.
