Cody Harris and Warren Parry will be joined by World Series of Darts debutants Haupai Puha and Tim Pusey in competing in August's Auckland Darts Masters.
Top New Zealander Harris has made big strides over the past seven months since making his World Championship debut. He based himself in the UK to compete full-time on the PDC circuit.
He won a Challenge Tour event in May and recently represented his country for a third time at the World Cup of Darts. The 32-year-old has now been invited to compete on home soil in Auckland from August 3-5.
Harris' World Cup of Darts team-mate Parry has qualified to compete in the Auckland Darts Masters alongside Puha. He will be appearing on the TV stage for the first time at the Trusts Arena.
That trio will be joined by Australian qualifier Tim Pusey. He came from the DPA World Series Order of Merit following the completion of their qualifying events. A further three players will complete the field from the trio of Qualifiers being held on July 9-10.
Pusey, who finished in second place on the rankings to the already-invited Corey Cadby, will also play in the Melbourne Darts Masters from August 10-12 and Brisbane Darts Masters from August 17-19.
The Perth-based thrower has never previously competed in a televised event. However, he has extensive experience on the DPA circuit in recent years.
Raymond Smith, meanwhile, will see his success so far in 2018 rewarded with spots in Melbourne and Brisbane - his home town - in August, as he takes to the big stage in his homeland for the first time. The Queenslander currently tops the main DPA Order of Merit ahead of Cadby following his double success in Tasmania in June.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
