Sepp Straka will start his first event on home soil in eight years in the company of defending champion Nicolai von Dellingshausen when the Austrian Alpine Open presented by Kitzbühel Tirol gets under way on Thursday.
The 33-year-old last teed it up in his homeland at the 2018 Shot Clock Masters and since then he has become a four-time PGA TOUR and two-time Ryder Cup winner, although he is looking for a first DP World Tour win this week.
Von Dellingshausen claimed his first DP World Tour win at this event 12 months ago while Casey Jarvis - who completes the three-ball - has two this year and that trio will hit off the tenth at 07:50.
A trio of rising stars get their week under way 20 minutes earlier as Jacob Skov Olesen, Kota Kaneko and Wenyi Ding all play together, with recent winner Yurav Premlall and the German pair of Marcel Siem and Marcel Schneider getting started in between at 07:40.
Reigning Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year Martin Couvra starts at 08:00 alongside five-time DP World Tour winner Thriston Lawrence and local favourite Maximilian Steinlechner.
Another home hero in Bernd Wiesberger is likely to take big crowds with him when he tees off the first at 13:05 and he will have fellow 2026 winners Freddy Schott and Mikael Lindberg for company.
The winners keep on coming at 13:10 with Richard Sterne and Jordan Gumberg grouped with Daniel Hillier.
Fan favourite Andrew Johnston will want to start turning his recent good play into results as he continues his comeback and he goes off with Matthias Schwab and Julien Guerrier at 12:45.
