Dec 5 (Reuters) - Melbourne will host the World Cup of Golf for the third consecutive time with the 59th edition of the event to be held at the Metropolitan Golf Club from Nov. 21-25, 2018, tournament organisers said on Tuesday. "The World Cup of Golf has been a celebrated and valued tradition in the game for decades," PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said. "Golf in the Sandbelt region speaks for itself, and we appreciate The Metropolitan Golf Club opening its doors for this historic team event." Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen sealed Denmark's maiden World Cup of Golf title in 2016 while Australia's Adam Scott and Jason Day triumphed at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in 2013. The 2019 Presidents Cup will also be hosted in Melbourne at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
