The 64 player field and the first round draw for the 2021 Players Championship Finals has been finalised.
The players are made up of the top 64 on the Players Championship Order of Merit. The event returns to it’s spiritual home of Butlin’s Minehead, after being played in Coventry last year behind closed doors.
The tournament is scheduled to take place between Friday 26 and Sunday 28 November. There will be play across two stages for the first two days, with Sunday seeing all the action take place on the Main Stage.
World number one Gerwyn Price finished seventh on the Order of Merit, after choosing not to play in the final few events. He faces Jason Lowe in the opening round.
Meanwhile, defending champion Michael van Gerwen will kick off his quest for a third straight Players Championship Finals win against fellow Dutchman Kevin Doets.
