The world number three is to join second-ranked Rory McIlroy,
number four Henrik Stenson and 10th-ranked Rickie Fowler in
competing for the Falcon Trophy.
"I'm really looking forward to it and pleased to have the
opportunity to play in Abu Dhabi," Johnson said in a news
release on Tuesday.
"I've never been there but I've heard really good things about
the golf course from Rickie and Rory."
Johnson's fellow American Fowler will be the defending champion
at the Jan. 19-22 event.
"Abu Dhabi was a high point for my 2016 season along with
competing in the Olympic Games and being on the winning USA
Ryder Cup team," Fowler said.
"Coming out on top against the strongest field on the European
Tour was as good a start as anyone could aspire to."
