The Australian Darts Masters is due to take place between 21-22 August at the WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong. The prize money is set ahead of the final normal World Series of Darts tournament of the year with the Finals coming up next month in Amsterdam.
Gian van Veen leads the field, but he does not lead the Order of Merit, with Michael van Gerwen, the champion in Bahrain and also Copenhagen leading. Albeit MVG as well as Luke Littler and Luke Humphries aren't playing either in Australia or New Zealand. MVG next plays on the World Series at Amsterdam defending his Finals title.
As well as Van Veen, Jonny Clayton leads the way after his brilliant run at the New Zealand Darts Masters which saw the Welshman scoop the title defeating another leading light this next week in Gerwyn Price. Also involved are Stephen Bunting, James Wade, Josh Rock, Damon Heta and Ross Smith.
Adam Leek, Simon Whitlock, Ben Robb, Raymond Smith, Brody Klinge, Tim Pusey, Joe Comito and Mal Cuming take part in Wollongong as part of the qualifier field.

How much is on offer for winning Australian Darts Masters?

While the Prize Money for the World Series of Darts Finals has increased from £400,000 to £450,000 for this next season, this is not the case for the main events in the year. The winner will claim £30,000 for sealing the title, while it will be £16,000 for the runner-up. Semi-finalists receive £10,000. While Quarter-Finals also known as the second round is £5,000.
First round losers receive £1,750. Order of Merit points wise, these go towards the World Series of Darts Finals which will take place in Amsterdam in November. Unlike Saudi Arabia which had the nine-dart bonus and also the Riyadh Season Bullseye, the further events do not have that.
