Scott, Day to represent Australia at Golf World Cup

Australia's Adam Scott and Jason Day have confirmed their participation on home soil in the World Cup of Golf at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club from Nov 21-24.

Scott and Day will form part of an elite field of 60 players from around the world. The event boasts a $8 million total purse and returns to an individual stroke-play competition for $7 million with a concurrent team competition (adding the total scores of the two-men teams) for $1 million. In addition, it will provide Official World Golf Ranking points.

World No.2 and current Masters champion Scott said: "I am looking forward to playing the World Cup and representing Australia at Royal Melbourne with Jason Day. It will be a great week for Australian golf where we will be playing a World Cup in Australia for the first time in 25 years."

Compatriot Day had similar views.

"I'm looking forward to getting back down to play at Royal Melbourne. As I grew to love golf, I loved watching Adam Scott play. It's fun to play the World Cup with a guy that I've known since I was 15. It is an honour to represent Australia. Hopefully Scotty and I can get a victory," said Day.
