Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg will tee it up together in a blockbuster group at the BMW PGA Championship this week.
The trio of European Ryder Cup players are the headline group for the first two days, as all 12 of Luke Donald's side are scheduled to tee it up at Wentworth in the flagship event of the DP World Tour.
Shane Lowry returns to Surrey as defending champion and is in a three-ball with European team-mates Tommy Fleetwood and Sepp Straka. They are off at 9am, 20 minutes after McIlroy and co.
The field will be made up of 144 players before the cut on Friday night, with World No.3 Jon Rahm also a big draw. He tees off at 12.40pm on Thursday with Nicolai Hojgaard and Tyrrell Hatton, who are also both in the team for Rome.
McIlroy, who holds a commanding 2,350-point advantage over Rahm at the top of the DP World Tour season standings, tees off early at 8.40am on Thursday, where he is looking to put a disastrous final round behind him after he found the water four times at the Irish Open.
He has already won two Rolex Series titles this season, the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and Genesis Scottish Open, with this week's event the fourth of five Rolex Series events on the DP World Tour schedule.
Matt Fitzpatrick, Justin Rose and Robert MacIntyre complete the Ryder Cup players in the field in front of captain Donald, who is also playing alongside the Molinari brothers, Francesco and Edoardo, who are two of his five vice-captains.

James Nursey is a freelance contributor to Golf Monthly after spending over 20 years as a sports reporter in newspapers. During a 17-year career with the Daily Mirror, he covered mainly football but reported from The Open annually and also covered a Ryder Cup and three US Opens. He counts a pre-tournament exclusive with Justin Rose at Merion in 2013 as one of his most memorable as the Englishman went on to win his first Major and later repeated much of the interview in his winner’s speech. Now, after choosing to leave full-time work in newspapers, James, who is a keen single-figure player, is writing about golf more. His favourite track is the Old Course after attending St Andrews University but has since played mainly at Edgbaston, where he is a member. James’ golfing highlights include a hole-in-one and previously winning the club championship and scratch knock-out at Edgbaston. He is also an active member of the Association of Golf Writers and Press Golfing Society, for whom he has represented in matches. But he is just as happy hitting balls or playing the odd hole with his young daughter at their local club Shrewsbury.
James is currently playing:
