Melbourne: Australia go in search of back-to-back World Cup wins in Melbourne this week at an event tinged with controversy over team picks by England and Scotland.
The last time it was held in 2013 the World Cup was primarily an individual tournament, with a 60-strong field featuring two players from each country participating in 72 holes of stroke play.
World number one Jason Day won the individual title for Australia, while Day and Adam Scott clinched the team portion for the best aggregate score. This year it returns to 28 two-man teams playing 72 holes of stroke play. The first and third days will be the foursomes and the second and final days the fourball play.
