This event was supposed to be the farewell tournament of Phil Taylor, who also stops playing tournaments on the senior circuit after this year. However, the farewell party was ruined because Taylor still does not appear to be fit enough after undergoing hip surgery. This also prevented Taylor from competing in the World Seniors Darts Matchplay earlier in October. Also missing are Kevin Painter and defending champion Leonard Gates. Gates will compete in the Grand Slam of Darts from Nov. 9 to 17.
Reigning senior world champion John Henderson will be in attendance. The Scot, who recently captured the title at the World Seniors Matchplay, begins his tournament against former world champion Scott Mitchell.
Due to Gates' withdrawal, Lisa Ashton was added to the top eight seeded players. She was paired with Matt Clark. Martin Adams, of course, is also back at this senior tournament. 'Wolfie' will face off with Chris Mason in the first round.
Glen Durrant will make his debut at the World Seniors Masters. The three-time Lakeside champion will meet the always dangerous Paul Hogan in the opening round. Two-time senior world champion Robert Thornton faces 10-time women's world champion Trina Gulliver.
For former WDF world champion Neil Duff, the tournament begins with a meeting against crowd favorite Darryl Fitton. Richard Rowlands will play against Andrew Kateley, and Richie Howson will battle Tony O'Shea. The latter is Gates' replacement at this tournament.

- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
