Lee Westwood will face Henrik Stenson in the first round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, while Ian Poulter will begin the defence of his crown against Stewart Cink.

Stenson has been handed a place in the 64-man field by an injury to Toru Taniguchi, while Ernie Els has taken the decision to play despite struggling with a neck problem.

Tiger Woods will return to the course for the first time since being fined for spitting at the Dubai Desert Classic and he will face Thomas Bjorn at Dove Mountain on Wednesday.
