The Sunday Herald Sun can exclusively reveal golf's World Cup is a done deal for November 21-24 at Royal Melbourne and that private overtures have already been made for Scott to headline the time-honoured teams event. It would follow the Australian Masters, from November 14-17, on the same course the week before. "I certainly want to try and play as much as I can in Australia tournament-wise (in November) and there is some interesting stuff happening with another event," Scott, also the defending Australian Masters champion, said when dropping the hint from Florida this week. I can't commit to anything as yet but there's a lot of stuff being worked out right now in terms of my schedule. Wherever I play at the end of the year, I want to make it special. I've been so overwhelmed with supportive messages and congratulations. I'm looking forward to coming home later in the year with the green jacket, sharing it and celebrating with everybody. The World Cup is also the one vehicle that could lure world No.2 and Irish golf prodigy Rory McIlroy to Australia. Sponsor troubles tripped up staging the event in China before the Victorian Major Events company stepped in to broker a deal to bring the event to Royal Melbourne. The World Cup is the perfect vehicle for Australian golf to capitalise on the euphoria and momentum created by Scott's Masters win. It will also provide a bumper end-of-year festival of sport with the golf, following on from the AFL Grand Final and the Spring Racing Carnival. South African stars Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen, American Matt Kuchar, one part of the winning 2011 World Cup pairing for the US, McIlroy's compatriot Graeme McDowell, England's Luke Donald and Ian Poulter are all potential drawcards. American Tiger Woods is a two-time World Cup winner and loves Melbourne's sandbelt courses but his appearance is more of a long shot. In such a short time frame, the repeat use of tournament infrastructure from the Australian Masters has helped clinch it. Royal Melbourne last staged the World Cup in 1988. Queenslander Scott is both zealous in defending titles and in spruiking Royal Melbourne as a jewel of course design on the famed sandbelt.
