The draw for the first three rounds of the 2024 UK Open Darts has been announced. This tournament is the largest television tournament of the PDC. No less than 158 players will compete for the title during the 'FA Cup of Darts' from March 1 to 3. Participants enter the tournament in phases. The top-32 of the world rankings, for example, only have to start in the fourth round.
World leaders such as world champion Luke Humphries, Michael Smith, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright, Nathan Aspinall, defending champion Andrew Gilding and teenage sensation Luke Littler will join in from the fourth round.
Gilding surprisingly won the UK Open last year. After a thrilling final, 'Goldfinger' was too strong for Van Gerwen with 11-10 and the Englishman took his first PDC major.
