The World Grand Prix takes place at Leicester’s Mattioli Arena, beginning on September 28, live on Sky Sports.
The event uniquely requires players to begin and finish every leg on a double or the bullseye.
The 32-player field features the top 16 players on the PDC Werner Rankings Ladder and the top 16 players from the ProTour Rankings yet to have qualified, as they bid to claim double-start glory.
Defending champion Luke Littler will headline the competition in Leicester, which will see the sport’s top players battle for a newly-boosted £150,000 top prize and the coveted title.
2023 champion Luke Humphries will also be hunting a second World Grand Prix title, while Dutch number one Gian van Veen returns to the arena where he broke the record average last year in defeat to Littler.
