THE stars of the PDC return to Dusseldorf's Maritim Hotel for the European Darts Open from Friday July 11-Sunday July 13, completing the summer's trio of European Tour events.
The £100,000 European Tour event will begin with the first round being split across two stages on Friday afternoon at the Maritim Hotel, with play on the main stage accompanied by games on stage in an adjoining hall.
