Luke Donald and Rory McIlroy will go head-to-head in the first two rounds of the Memorial tournament at Muirfield Village in Ohio.
The pair have been vying for the number one ranking for much of the past year, with Donald re-taking top spot with victory at Wentworth last week.
McIlroy missed the cut there - his second in a row - but said on social network Twitter he is looking forward to a better week.
"Getting some great work done here on the range at Memorial... Looking forward to a good week at one of my favourite events of the year!" said the Northern Irishman, who will only return to number one if he wins and Donald finishes worse than 13th.
The pair will be joined on the first two days by USPGA champion Keegan Bradley.
Tiger Woods is also in the field, as are Masters champion Bubba Watson following a month-long lay-off and Dustin Johnson, who has not played since March because of a back injury.
