As part of the DP World Tour’s five-event Asian Swing, a top field is expected for the Volvo China Open in a Ryder Cup year where the players are trying to accumulate as many points as possible on the Race to Dubai.
Otaegui, who overcame a five-shot deficit to win last year’s event by a stroke at Shenzhen Hidden Grace Golf Club, will attempt to become the first player in tournament history to win back-to-back championships.
Others confirmed for the field include Frenchman Alexander Levy, a two-time winner of the tournament in 2014 and 2017.
Among those looking to keep the title on home soil is Li Haotong, who raised the trophy in 2016.
More big names will be confirmed for the field as the tournament approaches.
