The tournament will go ahead as planned this weekend despite continued civil unrest in the Gulf nation.
With golfers Paul Casey, Colin Montgomerie, Thomas Bjorn and Suzann Pettersen and sporting greats Tim Henman, Joe Montana, Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli all due to be teeing-off, a spokesperson for the event released a statement to confirm their participation.
Organisers had to cancel last year's race at Sakhir due to civil unrest, but have been adamant that this year's event is safe to go ahead despite continuing sectarian divisions and street violence in the kingdom as well as threats targeting the grand prix.
And Bahrain Invitational organisers IMG have confirmed that everyone due to be involved in the inaugural event will still be taking part.
'We are looking forward to welcoming all the participants to the Bahrain Invitational and safety around the event is assured.'
IMG's global co-managing director Guy Kinnings said he was looking forward to the golf tournament, which will also see the aforementioned sports stars take part in community projects in the nation.
'Bahrain is fast becoming one of the world's leading players in staging large scale events,' he said. 'We know it's going to be a fantastic event and look forward to welcoming some of the world's most inspirational sporting figures.'
Political pressure in the nation led to last year's Bahrain Formula One grand prix being cancelled.
