Colsaerts, whose victory in May helped to secure him a Ryder Cup debut, said: "This just demonstrates the global appeal of golf. "I've never been to Bulgaria, but I've heard great things about the country and Thracian Cliffs and I can't wait to defend my title there in May next year. "Having won both the 2011 Volvo China Open and the 2012 Volvo World Match Play Championship I think Volvo might be my lucky charm, so I hope that continues to be the case in 2013."
