It is the tour's only full-field team event although that will change in the next few years with more calls from the players for a bit more variety at the elite level. 

The course this week is another Pete Dye layout and International Presidents Cup teammates Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman are defending champions.

This marks the fifth year the event has been played as a team format. Duos will play best-ball on Thursday and Saturday. It's alternate shots on Friday and Sunday. 

Last time out Leishman and Smith won here in a dramatic playoff over Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. It marked the second time Australian Smith has won this tournament.
