This year the tournament will revert to a 72-hole stroke-play format for the first time since 1999, contested as both a team and individual competition. In total, 34 countries will be represented – 26 of which that will feature two players, and, eight countries with just one player. While not an official Tour-sanctioned event, the tournament will offer Official World Golf Ranking points for the first time ever.

Headlining the Field: Adam Scott, Matt Kuchar, Graeme McDowell, Jason Day, Brendon de Jonge, Matteo Manassero, Vijay Singh, Jonas Blixt, Branden Grace and Miguel Angel Jimenez.
