Pablo Larrazábal will begin the defence of his Alfred Dunhill Championship title alongside Austrian Matthias Schwab and home favourite Daniel van Tonder early on Thursday morning.
The Spaniard closed a roller coaster fourth round with three birdies in his final four holes to claim his fifth European Tour title at the first event of the 2020 season last December.
And he is back at Leopard Creek Country Club this week for the second event of the three week South African Swing.
Larrazábal, Schwab and Van Tonder will get their opening rounds under way at 7.00am from the tenth tee on day one, ten minutes after 2009 champion Richard Sterne, Shaun Norris and Ross McGowan tee off.
South Africa's Brandon Stone, who won this event in the 2017 season, then heads to the tenth tee alongside Spanish pair Adri Arnaus and Adrian Otaegui at 7.10am, with 2004 winner Marcel Siem starting from the first tee at the same time.
In the afternoon, last week's Joburg Open winner Joachim B. Hansen starts from the first tee at 12.10pm in the company of Englishman Eddie Pepperell and home hope Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
Scotland's Robert MacIntyre and South Africans Wilco Nienaber and George Coetzee are in the group before them, beginning their rounds at midday.
