The field for the Grand Slam of Darts 2019 has been confirmed with the draw set to take place later today ahead of proceedings beginning at Aldersley Leisure Village on Saturday.
As usual, the way it works out is that there are eight seeded players starting with Michael van Gerwen and including Rob Cross, Gary Anderson and defending champion Gerwyn Price. They will each get one player from each pot to form a group which will be drawn out meaning that they could get anyone in theory.
In Pot 1, it is headed up by Ian White who only just snuck into the tournament due to having more European Tour wins than Mensur Suljovic this year. Also among the first pot is the in-form Dave Chisnall, Nathan Aspinall and Adrian Lewis.
In Pot 2, Jamie Hughes is among those part of it with the likes of Ross Smith and Gabriel Clemens joining him. As well as, William O'Connor, Martin Schindler, Robert Thornton, Steve Lennon and son of 'The Prince of Style' himself, Ryan Harrington.
Then the final pot to pick from is BDO which features Glen Durrant as well as the added addition of Mikuru Suzuki and Lisa Ashton; as well as the rest of the BDO's best including Richard Veenstra, Wesley Harms and Jim Williams.

- Bit of research, 18 carat and about 30k value which unless the weight is known am unable to confirm.Mysstree12-04-2025
- Wonder what the weight and gold content is, betting it’s 9 carat. Gold is at an all time high so could be worth a few quid.Mysstree12-04-2025
- Anderson was in the semis as well so 3 of 4 players were Scottish.Mysstree09-04-2025
- I agree,but there still isn't a good enough German player to be considered. I've said before,scrap the whole thing,its a payday for the top players and gives nothing to anyone elserick6707-04-2025
- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025
- Aspinall really struggles against Littler. Head to head is currently 9 - 1 in Littlers favour.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
