"Betfred's charity support has been extremely well received in recent years and it's great that they will again be backing The Stroke Association," said PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter.
"With the exceptional standard we've seen across the PDC circuit this year, we're hoping to see the 180s record broken during the Betfred World Matchplay.
"This gives everyone watching at the Winter Gardens and worldwide even more to cheer as the 180s go in during the event and our players do their bit for such a worthwhile cause."
