I think staging the event in South Korea is a very good idea. It is nice to see it move to the Asian mainland and beyond the "usual suspects." The quality of the course is secondary.

Based on that pic I would have never guessed that was a course built in 2010. Looks like 1987!!

My first thought was "another Nicklaus?"

Is there anything else there that would be suitable, though?

I think going to SK is a good idea, though.

I think its great to see it move around the member nations, long may it continue and a perfect opportunity for the USPGA to grow the game outside of the traditional super powers.  New Zealand 2019

Leo:

New Zealand would be a long shot, really.  The reason it is going to South Korea has mostly to do with K.J. Choi who has been playing in the event for years.  It went to Canada for Mike Weir, same reason.  Look at the roster of guys who have played in the event, and you can probably guess where it's going to go next time it's in the "Rest of the World".  My guess:  Argentina.

It will be a big hit with the Koreans.  Lots of spectators and lots of advertising. South Korea has 2 full time golf channels there.  They will eat it up.
