DRAW PDC Players Championship 21 | Beau Greaves, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright headline ProTour return as big names learn openers

Players Championship action returns after a short break, and this is the place to find the full first round draw for PC21 as the PDC ProTour resumes.

Beau Greaves is among the headline names in action, with the history-maker drawn against Ryan Joyce in one of the more eye-catching first round ties. Gerwyn Price also returns to Players Championship duty against Cristo Reyes, while Peter Wright faces Kim Huybrechts in another standout opener.

Wessel Nijman remains the clear leader on the Players Championship Order of Merit and begins against Stephen Burton, as the Dutchman looks to continue his outstanding 2026 floor campaign.

Greaves’ meeting with Joyce gives the opening round an immediate point of interest, while Price’s clash with Reyes brings another major name into focus as the ProTour schedule restarts.

Wright’s match against Huybrechts is one of the most recognisable ties on the board, with both players carrying plenty of big-stage experience. Elsewhere, Kevin Doets has been handed a notable opener against Raymond van Barneveld, and Chris Dobey faces Connor Scutt. There are also interesting starts for Michael Smith, who plays Tavis Dudeney, and Rob Cross, who takes on Rusty-Jake Rodriguez.

Luke Woodhouse begins against Sietse Lap, while Ross Smith opens against Jeffrey Sparidaans. Jonny Clayton faces Chris Landman, Stephen Bunting meets Owen Bates, and Damon Heta starts against Ricky Evans.

Dimitri Van den Bergh, still looking to build momentum after a difficult spell, faces Darius Labanauskas, while Gian van Veen starts against Thibault Tricole as he continues to search for stronger Players Championship results.

Elsewhere, Dave Chisnall meets Martin Lukeman, Dirk van Duijvenbode takes on Cor Dekker, Danny Noppert faces Tom Bissell, Martin Schindler plays Keane Barry, and Daryl Gurney opens against Callan Rydz.
