Next Stop Austria For PDC Stars

THE double-header of European Tour events to be held during the final two weeks of June kicks off with the Austrian Darts Open at the Salzburg Arena.

The £100,000 tournament will feature 48 players, with the field to be completed on Thursday June 19 when the Host Nation Qualifier and European Qualifier take place.

Four Austrian players will come through the Host Nation Qualifier, with eight places available in the European Qualifier for those players to join the 20 UK Qualifiers in the first round on Friday.

The 16 seeded players - including the two previous Austrian Darts Open winners, 2012 champion Justin Pipe and 2013 winner Michael van Gerwen - then enter the fray in the second round, which is split across two sessions on Saturday.

The tournament will then conclude on Sunday, with the third round being held in the afternoon session before the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final in the evening session.

Coverage of the tournament will be streamed live through the Bet365, Coral, Ladbrokes, Unibet and William Hill websites, and outside of the UK & Ireland through www.LIVEPDC.TV.
