The Entries in the preliminary round of the 2025
Winmau World Masters have been confirmed. A total of 129 players will attempt to qualify for the main tournament in Milton Keynes on Wednesday, January 29. These include
Daryl Gurney,
Dirk van Duijvenbode,
Ritchie Edhouse as well as
Fallon Sherrock, Leonard Gates as part of the non Tour Card Holder contingent.
The top 24 players on the PDC Order of Merit are admitted directly to the main tournament of the Winmau World Masters. All other Tour Card holders can participate in the preliminary round. They will be joined by players from the PDC's secondary and affiliate tours and four representatives from the JDC circuit.
Players ranked between from spot 25 to 56 on the PDC Order of Merit will enter the qualifying tournament from the last 64. The remaining qualifiers begin the event with a group stage. The players from spot 57 to spot 88 on the PDC Order of Merit will each be placed in one group. They will be joined at random by the remaining participants in their group.
In the preliminary round, games are played over best of 3 sets, with two legs to be won in each set for set wins. One player from each pool advances to the knockout stage. So at the last 64, the 32 pool winners play against the players who were directly admitted to the last 64. Then a elimination schedule is played until eight players remain. These eight players will be added to the main tournament of the Winmau World Masters.
