THE line-ups and fixtures have been confirmed for the first four nights of the PDC Home Tour ahead of today’s launch of the innovative new tournament.
Reigning world champion Peter Wright will be part of history today as the world number two headlines the opening night of the PDC’s first ever home-staged event.
Wright will take on Yorkshireman Peter Jacques in the opening game of the tournament, with Welsh former World Championship semi-finalist Jamie Lewis and Dutch youngster Niels Zonneveld also lining up in Group One.
Saturday will see the second of 32 consecutive nights of live PDC action take place, as two-time Grand Slam of Darts champion Gerwyn Price meets Austria’s Rowby-John Rodriguez in Group Two’s opening match.
Former Development Tour champion Ted Evetts, who was one of nine players to take part in the successful ‘Darts At Home’ trial nights, will also star in Group Two along with 2019 breakthrough talent Luke Woodhouse.
Sunday’s Group Three will be headlined by multiple televised finalist Dave Chisnall, who will take on PDC newcomer Scott Waites - a former Lakeside Champion and Grand Slam of Darts winner - in a mouth-watering opening game. Former Players Championship Finals quarter-finalist Jan Dekker will also compete in Group Three along with Welshman Jonathan Worsley.
Monday will once again see elite level darts brought from the living rooms of the pros to fans worldwide, as the first female Tour Card winner Lisa Ashton faces 2019 UK Open quarter-finalist Ross Smith in Group Four’s opening game.
Following the conclusion of the initial 32 nights of league phase action, the 32 group winners will advance to the second phase of the competition.
