The U.S. PGA Tour is looking into the possibility of staging the Presidents Cup in China in 2019. Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said that might be enough time for China to set a goal of having a player capable of competing in the matches, or worthy enough to be a captain's pick. If that's the case, it would leave 2015 open for an international venue. Finchem was intrigued by the idea of the Presidents Cup held in South America in 2015, one year before golf returns to the Olympic program in Brazil. Golf is guaranteed only the 2016 and 2020 Olympics before another vote of confirmation. It is important that golf put on a good show in Rio de Janeiro. "We can't just show up and say, 'We're here,"' Finchem said. America's second-tier Nationwide Tour is headed next year to Colombia, the home of Camilo Villegas. One problem is that the best players from South America are coming from Argentina - two-time major champion Angel Cabrera, Andres Romero, Ricardo Gonzalez, Daniel Vancsik and Estanislao Goya. Argentina held a wildly successful World Cup, won by Tiger Woods and David Duval, in 2000. "Will that help with an Olympics in Brazil? I don't know," Finchem said. He said the first priority before South America - perhaps Brazil, in this case - can be considered for a Presidents Cup is getting more golf courses built.
