Donald will be joined by, among others, fellow Englishman Ian Poulter.
Tiger Woods won the tournament in 2009, and also participated there last year, but he will not be making a third appearance.

“I am really looking forward to the trip and the experience.”
Defending champion Stuart Appleby will lead a strong Australian contingent in the field, while event officials will be focused on attratcing even more international stars in the months to come.
