Michael van Gerwen has not been granted a protected ranking for the draw of the Auckland Darts Masters. For this tournament the ranking on the World Series Order of Merit is used.
'Mighty Mike' is currently not in the top four of the World Series ranking. Van Gerwen has not gotten any further this year than quarter-finals on the World Series as he was eliminated in the second round on three occasions.
Reigning world champion Rob Cross is the top seeded player at the Auckland Darts Masters. Gary Anderson, Peter Wright and Michael Smith also received a protected status during the draw. Van Gerwen is currently sixth on the World Series Order of Merit.
For the first time since 2012, the 29-year-old Dutchman is unseeded at a PDC tournament. Six years ago, the two-time world champion won the World Grand Prix as an unseeded player, his first major in the PDC.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
