Berry van Peer will make his return to the Grand Slam of Darts for the first time since 2017. He will face Jonny Clayton, Chris Dobey and Josh Rock in Group B.
Beau Greaves is the second female competitor at the Grand Slam of Darts besides Sherrock. The 19-year-old Englishwoman will battle Nathan Aspinall, Damon Heta and Ricardo Pietreczko in the group stage.
The seventeenth edition of the Grand Slam of Darts is scheduled from November 11 to 19. This event is the only ranking tournament on the PDC calendar that starts in a group system.
Each group consists of four players, who will compete against each other during the first four days of the tournament. The top two players from each group then advance to the knockout phase.
Last year's edition went down in history as the tournament in which Michael Smith won his first-ever major title. 'Bullyboy' defeated Nathan Aspinall in a one-sided final 11-5.
