All four of those players will be on hand at Shenshan International Golf Club this week when 15 of the top 20 players in the world are slated to play.

That group includes two-time runner-up Tiger Woods, 2008 winner Phil Mickelson, Paul Casey, Lee Westwood, Padraig Harrington, Henrik Stenson, Garcia, Martin Kaymer, Stewart Cink, Sean O'Hair, Ogilvy, last week's winner in Singapore Ian Poulter, Ross Fisher, Rory McIlroy and Camilo Villegas.

Y.E. Yang famously beat Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship in August, but those who know the European Tour know that Yang also bested Woods at this event at the start of the 2007 season.

Yang closed with a three-under 69 to hold off Woods, who finished two strokes back despite a final-round 67.

Garcia's playoff win last year was the second playoff in the first four years of this event. Mickelson took down Westwood and Fisher in extra holes in 2008.

The field lost one big name over the weekend when Masters champion Angel Cabrera withdrew after losing in the consolation match at the Volvo World Match Play Championship.

Golf Channel has four hours of coverage for every round.

The European Tour heads to Hong Kong next week for the penultimate event in the inaugural Race to Dubai. Wen-tang Lin is the defending champion at the UBS Hong Kong Open. The following week is the inaugural Dubai World Championship.
