WGC-HSBC Championship preview: Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson back in action

The PGA Tour season's first of four World Golf Championships is set to get underway this week in China with eight of the top 10 players in the world ready to compete.

Sheshan International Golf Course, which sprawls over 7,200 yards as a par 72, will serve as a WGC host for the 11th time in 12 editions. Tiger Woods once called it “the crowning jewel of all of Asian golf," with its elevation changes and ponds.

Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy, the top two ranked players in the field, are making their first starts since the Ryder Cup.
