Schedule released for 2020 Masters

As usual, the Masters takes place in Milton Keynes at the Marshall Arena and acts as a season opener after the World Championship.

Michael Van Gerwen is the defending champion and will play on opening night against Jonny Clayton.

Other bumper ties are Rob Cross versus Adrian Lewis, Nathan Aspinall against James Wade and Michael Smith taking on Mensur Suljovic in what is a great opening night in Milton Keynes.

The second day sees the rest of the players in action including Gary Anderson and Gerwyn Price as well as the small matter of Peter Wright being announced as World Champion for the first time when he faces Joe Cullen.

From there we get a double session day which sees the Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and Final spread over the Sunday. Will we get a new champion or will Mighty Mike continue his dominance in this event??
