The field is provisionally set for the first European Tour event of the season, the European Darts Open which is set to take place from March 22 to March 24.
Michael van Gerwen is currently number one seed and is joined by a new number two for this year in Ian White. 'The Diamond' is known as one of the top performers on the tour and as such is at his highest position for at least the first few events.
In terms of the UK Qualifiers, we will see the debut of Glen Durrant who qualified recently after a string of ton plus averages. The likes of Justin Pipe, Steve Beaton and the in form Ted Evetts will also be involved.
The European qualifiers are potentially at their strongest for the first event with the likes of Krzysztof Ratajski, Jeffrey de Zwaan and Raymond van Barneveld all in action.
Madars Razma has been imperious so far on the Nordic and Baltic circuit and qualifier as did Pavel Jirkal from Czech.
Further Host Nation and Eastern European qualifiers will be held the day before the event.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
