The furore caused by racial remarks directed by Adam Scott's caddy Steve Williams towards his former boss Tiger Woods, will reach its climax at Royal Melbourne.
Scott has been drawn along with Korean KJ Choi to play Woods and fellow American Steve Stricker in the final foursomes clash.
Williams will confront Woods, the man he recently referred to as a "black arsehole" on the first tee at 2.05pm.
The four players will then attempt to concentrate on playing winning golf with Williams' distasteful remarks lingering as an uncomfortable backdrop.
Australia's top-ranked golfer, Jason Day, and American veteran Jim Furyk both agreed the pairing would draw a large crowd.
"Obviously I think that's one of the matches that everyone wanted to see, with what's gone on in the past," Day said.
Furyk described the looming match as "interesting, interesting."
"I think it's probably a pairing that you all have been talking about for two weeks now and it was probably a matter of time before it happened," Furyk said.
The first day of the Cup opens when Internationals Ernie Els from South Africa and young Japanese star Ryo Ishikawa take on Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson.
Local heroes Geoff Ogilvy, Aaron Baddeley and Robert Allenby will be in action in following matches.
