Shubhankar Sharma, the toast of Indian golf this season, will make his Hero Challenge debut at the iconic Edinburgh Castle.
The event precedes the Scottish Open this week.
The 21-year-old Sharma, who hit the European and Asian Tour headlines with two wins at the start of the season, also earned an invitation to the Masters soon after a Top-10 finish in his debut at WGC-Mexico.
Later he qualified for the US Open.
Apart from Sharma, the other five are Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter, four-time PGA Tour winner Charley Hoffman, local golfer Richie Ramsay, crowd favourite Andrew Johnston and the charismatic Rafa Cabrera-Bello, who has played Hero Challenge twice before.
The Hero Challenge will see six players play in two groups with the top two going into a knockout for semi-finals, followed by the final.
Sharma said, "I saw the event a few times on TV when it was in Europe last year and in Dubai. The Hero Challenge will be a great experience at the Edinburgh Castle."
Poulter said, "Now this is a different way to start tournament week. I loved taking part in the Hero Challenge in Dubai last year, but this location is going to make it even more exciting."
