Former world number one Jason Day will battle two-time winner Jordan Spieth at this year's Australian Open in Sydney, organisers said on Friday.
Australia's top-rated golfer, now ranked No 9 in the world, will be competing in his national championship from November 23-26 for the first time in four years.
Current world No 2 and three-time major winner Spieth is returning to defend the crown he won last year in a play-off.
"The Australian Open holds a special spot in my heart," Day said. "I'd love to get my name on that trophy one day, hopefully this November."
Day has 14 top-10 finishes in the 28 major championships he has completed, including victory at the 2015 US PGA Championship.
The 29-year-old's best result at the Australian Open was tied fourth in 2011. He has also won the US PGA Tour ten times.
The champion of the tournament in November will receive a minimum of 32 World Golf Ranking points.
