The draw for the 2019 Dutch Darts Masters has been made on Thursday. The event will kick off on Friday afternoon in Zwolle, marking the seventh event of the PDC European Tour 2019.
The opening session of action will see multiple in-form players and well-known faces take to the stage with Glen Durrant and Harry Ward, the last two
PDC ranking title winners both involved.
Keegan Brown and Kyle Anderson are also some of the star names involved. Three matches stand out in the evening's action with Ross Smith and Krzysztof Ratajski set to face off with both players in great form.
Max Hopp and Nathan Aspinall are set to face off once again in a repeat of their World Youth Championship final and Raymond van Barneveld will be involved in front of his home crowd for potentially the final time as he faces Pal Szekely.
