Draw and schedule for Hungarian Darts Trophy 2024: Michael Smith vs Jonny Clayton and Peter Wright vs Joe Cullen the pick of the opening round
PDCThursday, 19 September 2024 at 13:29
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.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
