Six-time World Grand Prix champion Michael van Gerwen is scheduled to play on Tuesday. 'Mighty Mike' will then take on Daryl Gurney. Van Gerwen thus gets an extra day to recover. Illness has forced the three-time world champion to miss five Players Championship tournaments and a Euro Tour event.

Gerwyn Price will face Danny Noppert on Tuesday, Oct. 8. In addition, there are crackers that day between Peter Wright and James Wade, among others, while Gary Anderson and Michael Smith also meet.
