This month’s Presidents Cup will be the first time since 2011 that Tiger Woods has played in Australia. International team member Adam Scott hopes that Woods and the Americans don’t get the majority of the cheers at Royal Melbourne. “Quite bluntly, we want the home-crowd advantage, and I’ll be disappointed if they are cheering enthusiastically for Tiger or anyone on the U.S. team,” Scott told the Herald Sun. It’s worth noting that the only International victory in the event’s history was at Royal Melbourne in 1998. This time, more than half of International team members are Presidents Cup rookies. It makes the right type of crowd energy that much more important.
