THE draw for the 2017 Gibraltar Darts Trophy has been made ahead of this weekend's PDC European Tour event at the Victoria Stadium.
The £135,000 tournament sees a 48-player field competing from May 12-14, with the action streamed worldwide for PDCTV-HD Subscribers worldwide and through a series of bookmakers' websites.
Friday's first round will see the 32 qualifiers in action, with the field being completed on Thursday evening with the Host Nation Qualifier for players from Gibraltar where Dyson Parody, Justin Broton, Dylan Duo, Manuel Vilerio and Anthony Lopez qualified.
Friday's action includes former Lakeside Champions Steve Beaton and Christian Kist taking on Mike De Decker and Ronny Huybrechts respectively.
Former European Tour winner Justin Pipe plays Wales' Jonny Clayton, while former Players Championship Finals winner Paul Nicholson takes on emerging Englishman Chris Quantock.
The 16 seeded players enter the tournament in Saturday's second round, with former Gibraltar Darts Trophy champion James Wade and 2017 UK Open winner Peter Wright headlining the field.
The event then concludes on Sunday, with the third round in the afternoon session before the evening session features the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.
Adrian Lewis has withdrawn from the event for family reasons, and was replaced by a fifth Host Nation Qualifier.
Tickets for the Gibraltar Darts Trophy are still available through www.buytickets.gi, and will also be available at the Victoria Stadium on each day.
The Gibraltar Darts Trophy will be broadcast online for PDCTV-HD Subscribers worldwide through www.livepdc.tv, and also streamed through a series of bookmakers' websites.
