Graeme McDowell will make his one and only appearance before the Ryder Cup at the Austrian Open.
The Northern Irishman has played a limited schedule since winning the US Open in June.
He has taken three weeks off since the US PGA Championship last month, but will return to action at the European Tour event at the Diamond Country Club, near Vienna, on September 16-19.
The Ryder Cup begins at Celtic Manor on October 1.
"I have taken a few weeks' break after the US PGA to focus on the rest of my season and to be fresh for the Ryder Cup," explained the 31 year old.
"My next and only tournament before Celtic Manor will be the Austrian Golf Open.
"I have always enjoyed playing in Austria and I see this as a good opportunity to become sharp ahead of our match against the United States."
McDowell's Ryder Cup team-mate, Miguel Angel Jimenez, will also be in the field in Austria.
