The field of participants for the men's tournament at the 2024 WDF World Darts Championship is complete. A total of 48 men will compete in the tournament at Lakeside with many deciding against playing due to also qualifying for Ally Pally.
Participants include such familiar names as Neil Duff, Liam Maendl-Lawrance, Kai-Fan Leung, Matthew Edgar, Dennis Nilsson and Paul Lim. For Lim, it will be his 13th time competing at Lakeside. The first time was in 1982, and he last attended the tournament in 1994. His most famous participation dates back to 1990 when he was the only player ever to manage to throw a nine-darter on Lakeside's iconic stage.
Danny Porter leads the way as top seed ahead of Jimmy van Schie with Andy Baetens of course not returning to defend his title due to being a PDC player now.
