World No 1 Jordan Spieth will feature in a regular European Tour event for the first time when he appears in January's Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.
Spieth, who won the Masters, US Open, Tour Championship and FedEx Cup in 2015, is part of a strong field at Abu Dhabi Golf Club from January 21-24 which also features four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler and Sweden's Henrik Stenson.
"I am looking forward to coming to Abu Dhabi, especially after Rickie told me about what a fantastic event it is," the 22-year-old said. "I love to travel and see the world and I am excited to not only play in the event but also check out Abu Dhabi for the first time."
Last year's event saw Martin Kaymer blow a 10-shot lead during the final round, gifting Gary Stal a maiden professional victory ahead of Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy, who has finished runner-up in the competition four times in the last five years, said: "Abu Dhabi always brings an outstanding player field and, with Jordan and Rickie competing in January, this will a superb test for me to start off the 2016 season.
"I've come close in Abu Dhabi several times now, so I'll be 100 per cent ready for January's challenge."
