Michael van Gerwen is the defending champion at the double-in tournament. The Dutchman defeated Dave Chisnall in the final last year, after winning this event as well in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018.
The 2020 World Grand Prix will be played from October 6-12. This tournament has an unique format, as players need to start and finish the legs with a double. There will be no live crowd involved during this event, as the tournament takes place behind closed doors in the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
