It is also an event that has never been played with the tournament taking place in Slovakia for the first time in the city of Bratislava at Incheba.
The field will feature 48 players as well as £230,000 in prize money with £35,000 going to the winner. Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price are among the top names involved.
Luke Humphries and Luke Littler decided to snub the tournament. They play the World Cup of Darts but Humphries admitted on X when criticised that going straight to New York was too much of a logistical nightmare and he believed that Littler would've also have played if it was better placed.
