ENTRIES have been confirmed for the PDC European Tour events in Hamburg and Hildesheim in June and August ahead of the forthcoming UK Qualifiers.
The sport's top players will return to Hamburg from June 29-July 1 for the fourth staging of the PDC European Tour event, which will see 48 players competing across three days at the edel-optics.de Arena.
Michael van Gerwen will be defending his title in the tournament, while last year's runner-up Mensur Suljovic is also amongst the 16 seeded players.
The European Tour will then visit Hildesheim for the first time from August 31-September 2, where Halle 39 will host the year's tenth £135,000 tournament.
Van Gerwen and Suljovic will be joined by the likes of Peter Wright and World Champion Rob Cross in the tournament.
Each PDC European Tour event will be broadcast worldwide in PDCTV-HD as well as via a series of bookmakers' websites.
The field of qualifiers for each tournament will include 18 players from the respective UK Qualifiers, which will be held at Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan on June 15.
