Indian star Anirban Lahiri and Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts are the latest additions to a strong international field for next month's Australian Open golf championship.

Organisers capitalised on the pair's entry to play for their countries in the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne, enticing them to come to Sydney a week earlier to contest the Open at The Lakes from November 15-18.

They join a field which includes US PGA Tour winners Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley, Brandt Snedeker and Brendan Steele.

Lahiri, 31, who has notched 18 global wins in reaching as high as No.33 in the world rankings, will make his Australian Open debut.

Ex-Ryder Cup player Colsaerts will make his second Australian Open appearance, having shared 18th behind Matt Jones at The Australian in 2015.
