The third
Pro Tour event of the 2024 PDC season,
Players Championship 3 gets underway this afternoon in Leicester and the
draw has now been revealed.
A number of the sport's biggest stars are in action, including the two tournament winners from the season so far,
Luke Littler and
Gary Anderson. For the 17-year-old darting sensation, Keane Barry lies in wait in the opening round whilst for Anderson, a tie with Jeffrey de Graaf is on offer.
Former world champion and world number one,
Gerwyn Price didn't have the best of times at the opening two Pro Tour events, withdrawing part way through a match with Brendan Dolan. As he looks to return to winning ways, a matchup with Steve Beaton is on offer.
Also competing are the likes of
Michael van Gerwen,
Peter Wright,
Michael Smith, James Wade,
Nathan Aspinall,
Stephen Bunting, Damon Heta, Dave Chisnall and the early leader of the Pro Tour Order of Merit, Ryan Searle.
A total of £125,000 in prize money is distributed at each Players Championship tournament. The winner of the event will receive a cheque for £15,000.
