European Ryder Cup players Darren Clarke and Lee Westwood will be joined by New Zealand's former US Open winner Michael Campbell at next month's Malaysia Open.
Thai golfers Thongchai Jaidee and Thaworn Wiratchant lead the Asian challenge at the tournament from February 8th-11th.
The Malaysian Open is co-sanctioned by the European and Asian Tours and was won last year by South Korean Charlie Wi, who triumphed in a tournament that was shortened to three days because of rain.
Clarke and Westwood were part of the European team who defeated the United States at last year's Ryder Cup at the K Club while Campbell, the 2005 US Open champion, has been a regular visitor to Asia.
Thongchai has returned to form after his victory at the Volvo Masters of Asia in December. At last year's Malaysian Open, he was aiming for his third straight title but settled for second place.
