Bernd Wiesberger and Chris Wood, two former champions at Diamond Country Club, will tee off together in the first two rounds at this week’s Lyoness Open powered by Sporthilfe Cashback Card.
Wiesberger, who has four top tens in his national Open, including when it was a Challenge Tour event, triumphed in front of his home crowd in 2012.
Wood, fresh from a week's rest following his impressive BMW PGA Championship win at Wentworth, claimed victory last year for his second title on the European Tour.
The duo will tee off at 0810 on Thursday and will be joined by 15-time European Tour winner Thomas Bjørn, who finished second in Atzenbrugg to Joost Luiten in 2013.
Luiten returns to the scene of his win three years ago, where he shot an opening round 65, alongside the English pairing of Lee Slattery and James Morrison.
Slattery has also performed well in this event, with three top tens to his name, and the trio will tee off at 1310 on Thursday.
Kristoffer Broberg, Gary Stal and Anthony Wall, all European Tour winners, will start their first round at 0800 and Marc Warren, Lucas Bjerregaard and David Howell, another group likely to attract plenty of followers, will tee off at 1300.
