Van Gerwen starts today with a tough test against Ireland's Steve Lennon who has impressed since winning his tour card last year. Other big clashes to start off the 6th Players Championship include Gerwyn Price vs Josh Payne which is first on Stream Board 1.
Price of course is a Premier League player and will be hoping to be back in the winners circle today. He faces Josh Payne who 2 years ago this weekend won his first title.
Also Kim Huybrechts will face John Part and Rowby-John Rodriguez will face one of the stars of yesterday Gabriel Clemens both of which are on Stream Board 2 this afternoon.
