Gerwyn Price will begin his defence of the KenoGO Australian Darts Masters against Joe Comito on Friday evening, with the draw and schedule of play confirmed for this weekend's World Series of Darts event.
The opening leg of the PDC's World Series of Darts Oceanic double-header will take place on August 8-9, as a 16-player field compete for televised silverware at the WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong.
Friday’s first round will see the eight PDC stars take on eight Oceanic representatives, with reigning champion Price pitted against Australian qualifier Comito, who made his World Darts Championship debut last year.
World Champion Luke Littler - runner-up to Price on debut last year - will face New Zealand's premier player Haupai Puha, while world number one Luke Humphries plays Puha's fellow countryman Jonny Tata for a place in the quarter-finals.
Northern Ireland's World Cup winner Josh Rock will make his World Series bow against Australian icon Simon Whitlock in one of Friday's stand-out ties, as World Grand Prix champion Mike De Decker marks his debut Down Under with a clash against newcomer Brandon Weening.
Australian number one Damon Heta makes his return to home soil against two-time World Championship qualifier James Bailey, with top seed Stephen Bunting drawn against emerging star Brody Klinge.
Elsewhere, world number seven Chris Dobey will get his campaign underway against Australia's Tim Pusey, who makes his return to World Series action following a six-year hiatus.
Friday's first round gets underway at 1900 local time (1000 BST) at the WIN Entertainment Centre, before the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final take place on a bumper Finals Day on Saturday August 9.
The KenoGO Australian Darts Masters will be broadcast live on Fox Sports in Australia, through DAZN in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and on PDCTV in all other global territories.
UK fans can also watch live on PDCTV and ITVX, with delayed coverage on ITV4 beginning from 1900 BST on Friday, and 1700 BST on Saturday.
