Rory McIlroy will play alongside former Wales and Real Madrid soccer star, Gareth Bale and former England and Nottinghamshire cricket legend, Stuart Broad in Wednesday's BMW PGA Championship Celebrity Pro-Am tournament at Wentworth's west course.
The World No.3 will lead off the early starters from the first hole at the annual event, closely followed by Tommy Fleetwood and actor, Tom Holland - alongside his brothers Harry and Sam.
There will be a total of 40 groups making their way around the iconic Surrey golf course across a morning wave and afternoon wave, with the two sets of 20 groups going off in a shotgun start at 8:00am BST and 1:30pm BST. McIlroy's trio is set to begin on tee 1A while Fleetwood and co. are marked down for 1B, both in the morning.
Among the other notable pro golfers to be going out in the first half of the day includes a cluster of Ryder Cup faces such as Shane Lowry, Luke Donald, Robert MacIntyre and Justin Rose, plus PGA Tour regulars Adam Scott and Peter Malnati.
The American - who is with Eric Nicoli, chair of the European Tour Group, Rob Hissom and Ahmed Tayeb - is set to feature in his first ever exclusive DP World Tour competition after appearances at Majors and co-sanctioned events with the PGA Tour previously.
Peter Malnati won the PGA Tour's Valspar Championship earlier this season
Meanwhile, MacIntyre has been paired with British tennis great and fellow Scot, Sir Andy Murray - who has recently turned his attention to golf after retiring from tennis - as well as England's greatest ever fast bowler, Jimmy Anderson and professional dancer and TV star, Anton De Beke.
In the afternoon, a couple more European Ryder Cup names will be in action - namely Matt Fitzpatrick and Nicolai Hojgaard. Hoping to be in Donald's dozen for 2025, Matt Wallace and Rasmus Hojgaard are also out on Wednesday.
Victor Perez, Si Woo Kim, Aaron Rai, Alex Noren, Byeong Hun An, and Billy Horschel make up just some of the notable pro-am entrants who predominantly ply their trade on the PGA Tour.
From a celebrity point of view, ex-striker Robbie Fowler and Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will play alongside Wallace while Ben Foster and Troy Deeney will partner Noren and former English cricketer, Kevin Pietersen.
Olympic swimmers Duncan Scott and James Guy - fresh from their heroics at the Paris 2024 Games - will tee it up with viral golf instructor Georgia Ball and An. Meanwhile, Peter Finch, Mac Boucher, and Olivia Cowan have been paired with Horschel.
Here are the full tee times and starting holes for Wednesday's BMW PGA Championship Celebrity Pro-Am at Wentworth.
