Rory McIlroy, Marco Penge and Tyrrell Hatton have been grouped together for the first two rounds of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship as the trio do battle for the Harry Vardon Trophy.
Northern Irishman McIlroy arrives at Yas Links for the first event of the DP World Tour Play-Offs looking for a seventh Race to Dubai crown and fourth in a row and leads the way from Penge and Hatton at the top of the Rankings.
But the two Englishmen could both get past him this week with enhanced points on offer and the trio will head out at 09.23 on Thursday.
Elsewhere in the draw, the all Ryder Cup trio of Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood and Rasmus Højgaard are sure to take a good crowd with them at 08.01, 11 minutes after Jacob Skov Olesen - the only Rolex Series rookie in the field - tees off alongside Todd Clements and Brandon Robinson Thompson.
Adrien Saddier has had a breakout season with victory at the Italian Open and he will head out with a pair of Ryder Cup winners in Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Åberg at 10.28.
Richard Sterne - the only player at this 20th edition of the event to have played the first in 2006 - will hit the opening tee shot at 07.17 in the company of Rafa Cabrera Bello and Mikael Lindberg.
The final group of Robert MacIntyre, Alex Noren and Kristoffer Reitan will tee off at 11.50.
