Attendees
In previous years the top 6 of the PDC Order of Merit (according to the status after the world championship) received a start authorization. In addition, two fixed wildcards were given. This year the PDC changed this mode of participation. The top 6 continued to qualify directly, but this did not necessarily have to correspond to the status after the World Cup. The wildcards were also no longer fixed. Different players received wildcards for the various events.
