2022 UK Open field confirmed: Defending champion Wade, Price and Wright among top names

After being behind closed doors last year, the UK Open will finally return to its usual FA Cup of Darts feel with the Main Stage, Red's Bar and Multi-board arena at Butlin's Minehead from March 4-6.

As a result of the conclusion of the Riley's Amateur Qualifiers which saw the likes of Jelle Klaasen, Paul Hogan, Diogo Portela and Danny Lauby among the qualifiers, the field is now set.

The opening three rounds will take place in the afternoon session on Friday March 4, with the top 32 entering at the fourth round stage in the evening session.

This will of course be led by the likes of defending champion, James Wade. As well as World Number One, Gerwyn Price and World Champion, Peter Wright among others.

The first round sees the Tour Card holders ranked from 97-127 joined by the Amateur Qualifiers and 16 players from the 2021 Challenge and Development Tour.

The Tour Card Holders ranked from 65-96 will enter in round two, with the players ranked from 33-64 joining the event in round three.

Michael Unterbuchner will not compete due to personal reasons meaning it is an almost full Tour Card holder field. Steven Noster is the only other withdrawal with Lukas Wenig playing instead.
