The PDC has announced the draw and playing schedule for the Hungarian Darts Trophy 2024, with some tasty opening round ties on the cards.
The draw for the first round has produced two crackers between former major winners. Michael Smith faces off with Jonny Clayton, while Peter Wright takes on Joe Cullen.
Elsewhere, Nathan Aspinall returns to Euro Tour action against Krzysztof Ratajski and Dimitri van den Bergh, the only Belgian participant at the Hungarian Darts Trophy, will play Andrew Gilding in the first round. If he wins, 'The Dreammaker' will meet former world champion Rob Cross in the second round.
Michael Van Gerwen will kick off against Brendan Dolan or Martin Lukeman. Mighty Mike could possibly face world champion Luke Humphries in the third round. Humphries still has to beat Van Duijvenbode or Clemens to reach the last sixteen.
The Hungarian Darts Trophy is scheduled to take place for the fourth time. In 2021, Gerwyn Price managed to win the very first edition by beating Michael Smith 8-2 in the final. A year later, the title went to Joe Cullen, who was too strong for William O'Connor in a surprising 8-2 final. In 2023, Dave Chisnall took the title by beating Luke Humphries in the final.
