The Queenslander, who has finished second at the past two majors, will link up with last year's US Open winner Graeme McDowell and big-hitting American Bubba Watson on Thursday.
They are due to tee off at 1.43pm (2243 AEST) at Sandwich, Kent.
The biggest drawcard at this year's tournament will be Rory McIlroy following the popular Northern Irishman's runaway US Open triumph at Congressional last month.
He is due to commence at 9:09am (1809 AEST) with three-time major winner Ernie Els and exciting American Rickie Fowler.
Aaron Baddeley is playing in the group ahead of McIlroy and the Australian needs to look no further than playing partner Ben Curtis on how to negotiate his way around the course.
The American won the event the last time it was held at Royal St George's in 2003.
They will be joined by England's Paul Casey.
World No.17 Adam Scott will tee off alongside 2007 US Masters champion Zach Johnson and England's Justin Rose at 1:32pm (2232 AEST).
Australia's Geoff Ogilvy has an early start at 8.09am (1709 AEST) with Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez and promising American Peter Uihlein.
