Gerwyn Price is top seed for the tournament after winning both European Tour events in 2021 but this means bad news for Michael van Gerwen as eighth seed who may face James Wade if he defeats Boris Krcmar with Price also in his quarter.
Defending champion is Peter Wright with 'Snakebite' set to face off against Florian Hempel. He is in the quarter of Mensur Suljovic who facees Adam Hunt to begin.
Other top ties include Michael Smith facing off against Ryan Searle, Brendan Dolan is third seed and will face Kim Huybrechts, while Jose de Sousa is sixth seed and will face Lewy Williams.
