Draw released for 2021 Hungarian Darts Trophy: Van Gerwen to face Van der Voort or Gurney, Price faces Veenstra or Brown

The draw and schedule has been released ahead of the 2021 Hungarian Darts Trophy which takes place in Budapest between September 3-5 and sees the return of European Tour action for the first time in a year.

Friday's first round is set to be headlined by two former European Tour winners in Vincent van der Voort and Daryl Gurney with the winner facing Michael van Gerwen.

Gerwyn Price will face the well-known Dutchman, Richard Veenstra who is making his European Tour debut or Keegan Brown. While Nathan Aspinall awaits the winner of Nathan Aspinall against Bradley Brooks.

Peter Wright faces either Florian Hempel or Wayne Jones. There has been some news though with Danny Noppert withdrawing after his father passed away meaning Rob Cross becomes a seed and William O'Connor gets a bye into the second round.
