The late Kyle Anderson, a former winner on the World Series will be remembered with special boomerang trophies with a nod to 'The Original' who sadly passed away last August at his home in Australia.
Anderson who won the Auckland Darts Masters back in 2017 will also have a Memorial Trophy which will be presented to the Oceanic player judged to have produced the best performance during the trio of events this month in an extra incentive for the local qualifiers.
The boomerang trophies recognise Anderson's Aboriginal heritage and also feature his own palm print with the winner and runner-up in Townsville and Wollongong set to receive them.
"We wanted to work with the PDC to pay tribute to Kyle at this year's World Series events and these trophies are a fitting way for us to remember him," said DartPlayers Australia chief executive Rob Denny.
"The boomerangs represent the people coming together and gathering at a meeting place to celebrate, while the oak base colours represent our land and the Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal people.
"The Kyle Anderson Memorial Trophy itself represents the deeper connection and pride he had for his culture and country, and incorporates the personal touch of his handprint."
