Quail Hollow Club will host the 2021 Presidents Cup match play showdown between the United States and an International team, US PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said Wednesday.

Quail Hollow will become the fifth golf course in the United States to host the biennial event.

Liberty National (2017) and TPC Harding Park (2025) were previously announced as future sites for the Presidents Cup.

The 2015 edition will be contested in October at the Jack Nicklaus course in Incheon, South Korea. It will be the first time the event has been played in Asia.

"We're thrilled to add Quail Hollow Club to the growing list of exceptional venues to host the Presidents Cup," Finchem said.

"Charlotte is a major hub of business in the Southeastern United States with a growing economy and broad base of sports fans, and the Presidents Cup matches perfectly as we look to bring it to exciting, emerging markets and allow a new fan base to experience the competition, pageantry and international goodwill that the event represents."

Quail Hollow is a long-time host to PGA Tour events. The Kemper Open was held there from 1969-79 and the Wells Fargo Championship has been played at the venue every year since 2003.

Quail Hollow is slated to host its first major when the 2017 PGA Championship is contested there.
