Ian Poulter's announcement that Justin Rose represent England as his playing partner in the golf World Cup in China in November means that all of the exempt teams participating have now been finalised.
There are still a few teams that need to qualify for the event.
Poulter was able to nominate his partner as England's No 1 after the higher-ranked players Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Paul Casey all turned down the opportunity to take part in the event.
Rose was an obvious for Poulter as the pair are very good friends, won two of their three games together in the 2008 Ryder Cup and previously finished fourth at the 2007 World Cup.
