Colin Montgomerie and Anthony Kim have confirmed that they’ll be lining up at the Johnnie Walker Classic, which takes place from February 19-22 in Perth, Western Australia.
The Race to Dubai will head down under after the ‘Gulf Swing’ where a strong field gathers for Asia Pacific’s premier golf event. Greg Norman, Camilo Villegas, Paul Casey, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood, are just a few stars already confirmed for the tournament next month.
World number nine Kim said: “I’m very excited to play in my first Johnnie Walker Classic. I’m really enjoying playing in tournaments all around the world, and I can’t wait to visit Perth.
“One of my goals this year is to win my first European Tour title, and it would be great to do that at the Johnnie Walker Classic.”

Meanwhile, Montgomerie, an eight-time winner of The Harry Vardon Trophy, said: “It’s a tournament I always enjoy, and yet it’s one I haven’t managed to win.
“But it’s certainly a title I would like to have on my CV, and I hope this will be the year.”
