PDCMonday, 26 September 2022 at 15:17
The draw has been confirmed ahead of the 2022 World Grand Prix which is due to take place between October 3-9 at Morningside Arena in Leicester with Jonny Clayton as defending champion.
Clayton faces a difficult test in his opener in one of the standout ties as he faces Dirk van Duijvenbode, a former finalist in this tournament and the recent runner-up at the World Series of Darts Finals.
The standout tie will be Michael van Gerwen, five-time champion facing 2016 runner-up Gary Anderson who is the highest ranked unseeded player in the draw.
World Number One, Gerwyn Price faces Martin Schindler, one of three debutants in the tournament with Martin Lukeman and Madars Razma also involved facing James Wade and Ryan Searle respectively.
Peter Wright, the current World Champion will look to add a barren piece of his collection as he starts off against Kim Huybrechts, while in another top showdown, Michael Smith will face Nathan Aspinall.
Other ties to watch include Jose de Sousa - Adrian Lewis, Rob Cross - Daryl Gurney and Luke Humphries - Chris Dobey in a top line-up of tungsten.

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
