The Real Club de Golf de Seville has been awarded the right to host the PGA Tour's 2004 World Golf Championships' World Cup.

The 2004 event, which takes place between November 18-21 and has a $4m (EUR3.49m) purse, will be the first to be staged in Europe since 2000.

Said Ken Schofield, executive director of the European Tour: "The World Cup has held an esteemed position since first it was played as the Canada Cup in 1953. The event has without question promoted the game worldwide, and we look forward to another superb competition in Spain in the knowledge that the famous city of Seville has a wonderful history of hosting events of worldwide interest.”
