GATESHEAD, Taunton, Brentwood and Wolverhampton will host Blue Square UK Open Regional Finals in 2008.
The remaining five UK Open Regional Finals will be played from January-March, completing the eight qualifying events for the televised finals at Bolton next June.
The Gateshead Stadium will host the North-East Regional Final on Sunday 13 January.
That will be followed on Sunday 10 February by the South-West Regional Final at the Wellspring Leisure Centre in Taunton.
The Brentwood Centre in Essex will hold a Players Championship on Saturday 1 March, with the Southern Regional Final on Sunday 2 March.
A Players Championship and the North-West Regional Final will be held on 15 & 16 March at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan, adjacent to the JJB Stadium.
The Regional Finals will conclude with another double-header on 29 and 30 March in the Midlands area - the venue is to be confirmed.
The move means that three more Players Championship events have been added to the PDC Pro Tour, giving a further £60,000 in prize money available for players next year.
Alongside the Regional Finals for professional players, the PDC will operate a series of Pub Qualifiers for non-PDPA members during Spring 2008, with details currently being finalised.
