World Series of Darts Returns at Inaugural Nordic Darts Masters
Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright and Jonny Clayton are amongst eight PDC stars that will take on eight Nordic & Baltic representatives in Copenhagen.
Newly crowned World Cup of Darts champion Peter Wright faces Finland’s experienced competitor Marko Kantele, whilst World No.1 Gerwyn Price opens against Sweden’s Daniel Larsson.
The winner of Wright and Kantele’s clash will face either 2021 Premier League Champion Jonny Clayton, making his World Series debut, or Dane Ivan Springborg Poulsen.
Ahead of the tournament, World Matchplay Champion Peter said "I'm feeling great after the World Cup and it's my aim to be the first Nordic Darts Masters champion,"
"We've played in Denmark a couple of times on the European Tour and the crowds were brilliant - I loved it and I'm sure it will be great this weekend.
"It's a region which has really grown in recent years and they've got some fantastic players there now too."
The invitation event will also see Fallon Sherrock return to the PDC stage a year to the date since her last televised appearance.
Following her Alexandra Palace exploits in December 2019 as she became the first woman to win in the PDC World Championship - creating global headlines by defeating Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic.
