Josh Rock and Mike De Decker will make their World Series of Darts debuts next month, with the fields for the KenoGO Australian Darts Masters and the SkyCity New Zealand Darts Masters now confirmed.
The PDC’s annual trip Down Under will begin with the Australian Darts Masters in Wollongong on August 8-9, before the New Zealand Darts Masters returns to Auckland a week later.
Each event will see a 16-player field competing over two days of action, as eight PDC superstars go head-to-head with eight Oceanic representatives.
Rock - fresh from steering Northern Ireland to a historic World Cup of Darts victory last month - has earned his first World Series call-up following a superb start to 2025.
The former World Youth Champion also progressed to his first televised ranking semi-final in March’s UK Open, before winning a fifth ranking title at a ProTour event in April.
World Grand Prix champion De Decker will also make his World Series of Darts bow Down Under, having recently usurped Dimitri Van den Bergh to become the Belgian number one.
The 29-year-old was a finalist on the European Tour back in March, and he will make his World Matchplay return this weekend as he bids to break into the world’s top 16 for the first time.
Rock and De Decker will compete in Australia and New Zealand alongside world number one Luke Humphries – the reigning NZ Darts Masters champion - and World Champion Luke Littler.
The world’s top two will be joined by reigning Australian Darts Masters champion Gerwyn Price, Premier League duo Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey, and Australian number one Damon Heta.
The Oceanic representatives are headlined by Australian icon Simon Whitlock, with New Zealand’s number one Haupai Puha - currently in his second year as a PDC Tour Card Holder - and DPNZ Qualifier Jonny Tata also starring in both events.
Joe Comito, Tim Pusey and James Bailey will return to the World Series stage at the Australian Darts Masters after qualifying via the DartPlayers Australia circuit, as Brody Klinge and Brandon Weening prepare to make their TV debuts.
The New Zealand Darts Masters will then take place on August 15-16, as Puha’s World Cup partner Mark Cleaver and five-time World Championship qualifier Ben Robb feature on home soil.
John Hurring and debutant Dean Reyland will be the other DartPlayers New Zealand representatives to feature in Auckland, with Australia’s former Tour Card Holder Gordon Mathers winning through the DPA Qualifier.
Each tournament sees the eight PDC stars pitted against the Oceanic representatives in the first round, with Finals Day featuring the quarter-finals, semi-final and final.
Price claimed last year's title in Wollongong, defeating Littler 8-1 in the final, before Humphries became NZ Darts Masters champion with an 8-2 win over Heta.
Bunting will travel Down Under on a high after winning World Series of Darts titles in Bahrain and Copenhagen this year, while Humphries won last month's US Darts Masters in New York before Price scooped the Poland Darts Masters title.
