World number 3 Rory McIlroy will play his first round at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open in the company of reigning champion Soren Kjeldsen and England's Andy Sullivan.
The trio will stand on the first tee box at 1.25 on Thursday afternoon, leaving them amongst the later starters for round one.
Former winners Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry, who claimed the title as an amateur in 2009, are among the earlier groups starting at the 10th tee.
Harrington tees off at 8.05am with Ross Fisher and Victor Dubuisson while Lowry is up at 8.35 alongside Bernd Wiesberger and South Korea's Jeunghun Wang.
Graeme McDowell plays with Dane Thorbjorn Olesen and Belgian Thomas Pieters off the first at 1.45pm, just after Masters champion Danny Willett starts his tournament in the company of compatriot Lee Westwood and Rafa Cabrera-Bello.
Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke is off at 1.15pm on hole one with his predecessor Paul McGinley teeing off on 10 at 7.55am.
Thursday's team times are reversed for Friday's second round, meaning the first group will go out last and vice versa.
