Draw and schedule confirmed for 2022 European Darts Open: Van Gerwen set for potential Gurney clash

The draw and schedule has been confirmed ahead of the 2022 European Darts Open taking place in a familiar haunt of Leverkusen.

Despite a busy calendar ahead, Michael Van Gerwen, Peter Wright and Gerwyn Price are all involved with the former set for a potential second round clash with Daryl Gurney.

Josh Rock-Connor Scutt and Scott Williams-Adam Gawlas with the latter setting Wright’s opponent are among the standout games on Friday afternoon.

With Friday evening seeing Gurney face Kevin Burness, as well as Devon Petersen, Dave Chisnall and Ian White also being involved.

Danny Baggish as previously announced is out of proceedings so Karel Sedlacek receives a bye through to the second round.
