Draw released for Players Championship 16 including Wright, Smith and Humphries

The draw has been released for Players Championship 16 which is due to take place today in Niedernhausen. Consecutive tournaments are set up in Germany despite a depleted field.

Leading proceedings as a result include Peter Wright, Michael Smith, Dimitri van den Bergh and Luke Humphries, with the latter the only player to receive a bye today with James Wade who was initially in the field seemingly withdrawing.

Action commences at 1pm BST today, with Smith the leading light last time out sealing a double but can he do it again or will we get a new winner in the ilk of Jim Williams or Danny Jansen?
