The draw for the 24th PDC Players Championship event of the season has been confirmed, with 128 players returning to action in Barnsley.
The pair of £75,000 live-streamed floor tournaments will feature a star-studded field of players battling it out at the Barnsley Metrodome from September 10-11.
Prize money acquired will count towards both the ProTour Order of Merit and the Main Order of Merit, with a £10,000 top prize up for grabs on both days.
Gary Anderson returns to action for the first time since last month’s World Series events, while World Matchplay champion Rob Cross, Peter Wright, Michael Smith, Daryl Gurney and Glen Durrant will also have their sights set on the title.
Joe Cullen looks to pick up from where he left off in winning the European Matchplay in Mannheim on Sunday, while Tuesday’s first-time winner Jose De Sousa aims to pull off a sensational double.
Play commences from 12pm BST, with all matches from Round One to the Quarter-Finals contested over the best of 11 legs, Semi-Finals best of 13 and the final best of 15.
Selected matches from two boards are streamed exclusively live online with commentary throughout the day. 18+ | T&Cs apply | Funded account required | Gamble Aware
