ST. LOUIS — At the 2030 Presidents Cup, people currently in middle school will hoist beers and cheer for golfers currently in high school, and even the sitting U.S. president, traditionally invited, could be here in St. Louis, whomever he or she or they may be.
Nine years is a long time from now — will golf carts be hovercrafts by then? — but it’s still pretty exciting that this town has been awarded the prestigious event.
The folks at Bellerive Country Club sure can woo. “The Green Monster of Ladue” has hosted grand golf events over the decades — from the 1965 U.S. Open up to the 2018 PGA Championship — and there are rumblings around the 19th hole that yet another PGA Tour event could come. But on Wednesday, the enthusiasm was for the 28-pound, 24-carat gold cup on display — and the event it represented.
