Sergio Garcia, who has won the last two events he has played in Spain, will play in the Volvo World Match Play Championship in Marbella between 17 and 20 May.
The 31-year-old said: "It is tough to qualify for such an elite field, so I am delighted."
Other members of the 24-man field confirmed yesterday included the 2010 US Open champion, Graeme McDowell, and the 2011 Masters champion, Charl Schwartzel. The world's top two, Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald, will not play this year.
