This year's contest has been relocated from South Korea's Jeju Island to the USA due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Shadow Creek hosting a star-studded line-up for the first of back-to-back no-cut events on the PGA Tour.

McIlroy ramps up his pre-Masters preparation with the first of consecutive PGA Tour appearances on the West Coast, with the world No 4 part of Featured Group coverage with fellow former Players Championship winners Sergio Garcia and Si Woo Kim.

Rahm needs a top-four finish to have a chance of jumping above him Dustin Johnson in the standings, who has had to withdraw due to testing positive for coronavirus, with BMW PGA Championship winner Tyrrell Hatton playing alongside him.

Matthew Wolff, who has posted back-to-back runner-up finishes in his last two starts, completes that marquee threeball, while PGA Champion Collin Morikawa has been put with Xander Schauffele and Norway's Viktor Hovland.

Four-time major winner Brooks Koepka - who became world No 1 for the first time when he won the CJ Cup in 2018 - features for the first time since August's Wyndham Championship, having missed the US Open through injury.

Koepka, now world No 11, has been grouped for the first two rounds alongside defending champion Justin Thomas, who also won the inaugural event in 2017, and South Korea's Sungjae Im.
