Another prestigious professional golf tournament is headed to Bellerive Country Club.
The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that Bellerive will host the 2030 Presidents Cup, giving the St. Louis region its latest opportunity to stage one of the sport’s showcase events. Bellerive, which has also been the site of the 1965 U.S. Open, the 2004 U.S. Senior Open, the 2008 BMW Championship, and the 2013 Senior PGA Championship, among other prime events, recently hosted the 2018 PGA Championship.
In awarding St. Louis the 2030 tournament this week, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan credited the region for its enthusiasm for the sport and its reputation for embracing big events. “The combination of St. Louis and Bellerive Country Club will make for a memorable experience for fans onsite and those watching around the world,” Monahan said in a statement.
The Presidents Cup pits a team of players from the United States against international counterparts hailing from non-European countries. The most recent competition, held in 2019 at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club, saw the U.S. team pull off a come-from-behind victory against the squad of international competitors. The Americans have won all but two of the event’s 13 matchups, including eight in a row.
Bellerive, which was designed in 1960 and renovated in 2005, will be the seventh U.S. course to host the tournament following Charlotte’s Quail Hollow Club (2022) and Chicago’s Medinah Country Club (2026).
“Bellerive is thrilled to host the 2030 Presidents Cup and once again showcase the best golfers in the world in St. Louis,” said Rick Walsh, Bellerive’s president. “It will be an incredible event for the community, fans and players, and a great celebration of St. Louis.”
