Former PDC Tour Card holders Jeffrey Sparidaans, Brian Raman and Matt Clark also feature, while 15-year-old Mitchell Lawrie will become the youngest player ever to feature in the main draw, breaking the record set by Luke Littler in 2022.

With Beau Greaves having opted to compete in the PDC World Championship, a new name is guaranteed on the Women’s trophy, with the field headed by top seed Lerena Rietbergen.

Last year’s runner-up Sophie McKinlay, three time, BDO world finalist Deta Hedman, two-time BDO world finalist Rhian O’Sullivan and 2023 runner-up Aileen de Graaf are also among the seeded contingent.

Mikuru Suzuki, BDO World Champion in 2019 and 2020, returns to the line-up alongside the likes of emerging star Paige Pauling and Finland’s Kirsi Viinikainen.
