Westwood stars to take early lead
Justin Rose and Ian Poulter are to pair up again for England in November's World Cup team event in China.
Rose was second with Paul Casey behind South Africa at Kiawah Island in 2004, while Poulter's previous appearance was in 2001 in Japan.
Wales' 2005 winners, Stephen Dodd and Bradley Dredge, are reunited in a bid to regain the trophy.
And Scots Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren attempt to go one better than 2006 when they lost out to Germany.
After a thrilling play-off last year Monty and Warren were beaten by Bernhard Langer and Marcel Siem at a rain-soaked Sandy Lane course in Barbados.
Ireland will have to qualify after Open champion Padraig Harrington opted out of the event and the next highest-ranked players - Graeme McDowell, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley - are all outside the world's top 100.
So far, 18 countries are in the draw, with 10 more teams to follow.
