Qualification and format
In a change from the previous year, the top 16 on the two-year main PDC Order of Merit ranking were seeded and entered the tournament in the second round, while the 16 qualifiers from the one-year PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit ranking entered in the first round.[7][8][9] In another change, the 16 Pro Tour Order of Merit qualifiers were drawn against one of the 16 other qualifiers in the first round.
The seedings were confirmed on 5 September.[10] The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 11 September),[11] four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 25 September),[12] one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 1 August),[13] and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 10 August).[14]
Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson, Gerwyn Price and Cameron Menzies withdrew and were replaced by Richard Veenstra, Connor Scutt, Mensur Suljović and Chris Landman. Gian van Veen, Mike De Decker and Ryan Searle moved up into the seeded positions as 14th, 15th and 16th seeds respectively.[15]
