Sergio Garcia, another former winner of this event, will tee off at 10.40 with Branden Grace and US PGA champion Jimmy Walker.
Masters winner Danny Willett will start alongside the American duo of Matt Kuchar and JB Holmes at 09.30 as he looks to improve on his third placed finish at Sheshan Golf Club last year.
Teeing off at the first at 10.50 will be Lee Westwood, Bernd Wiesberger and KT Kim, with all three looking for their first World Golf Championships title.
Alex Noren, who became the first three-time winner of the 2016 season with victory at the British Masters two weeks ago, will resume his stellar season in the company of Argentinian Emiliano Grillo and BMW PGA champion Chris Wood from 09.20, while home favourite Li Haotong tees it up from 10.10 alongside Americans Ryan Moore and Justin Thomas, who prevailed in Malaysia on the US PGA Tour last week.
