ππΆπ²πΉπ± π°πΌπ»π³πΆπΏπΊπ²π±β Here are the 32 players who will compete in the BoyleSports World Grand Prix from October 6-12. The draw will take place at 1000 BST tomorrow on @BoyleSports social media channels.
The 32 player field for the World Grand Prix has been confirmed after the conclusion of the German Darts Championship which acted as the cut off for the event.
The prestigious double start event will not be played at its usual home of the Citywest in Dublin with focus shifting to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry for the first time from October 6-12.
The top 16 players from the PDC Order of Merit which are headed up by eight seeds including Michael van Gerwen, the defending champion. As well as World Champion, Peter Wright and two time Grand Slam champion Gerwyn Price.
Non-seeds in this Order of Merit include Gary Anderson, Dimitri van den Bergh and Glen Durrant with Adrian Lewis rounding out the top 16 after gaining a reprieve due to Devon Petersen winning the German Darts Championship on Sunday night.
Petersen as a result of that win has launched himself into 17th and number one from the ProTour Order of Merit with 16 in all coming from those positions.
Lots of debutants will be involved in Coventry with 'The African Warrior' one of the main ones. These also include Jose de Sousa, Ryan Searle, Gabriel Clemens, Ryan Joyce and Dirk van Duijvenbode, all have either won titles this year for the first time or produced consistent form on the tour to get into this position.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors heβs in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
