DARTS superstar Peter Wright will be joined by four former World Champions in the field for the 2017 Gibraltar Darts Trophy, which will be held from May 12-14 at the Victoria Stadium.
The £135,000 tournament, which forms part of the PDC European Tour, returns for a fifth successive year as a 48-player field competes across two days on stage.
Four players from Gibraltar will be part of the action, with the Host Nation Qualifier on Thursday May 11 allowing local hopefuls the chance to secure a spot in the event.
Gibraltar's Dyson Parody enjoyed a dream weekend when he qualified last year - winning through to the quarter-finals - and he will be joined in the Host Nation Qualifier by Dylan Duo, who will be his partner in the Betway World Cup of Darts in June in Frankfurt.
This year's top stars in action in the Gibraltar Darts Trophy include the 2017 UK Open champion Peter "Snakebite" Wright, whose colourful outfits and hair are matched by a flamboyant walk-on which has helped to make the world number three into a crowd favourite worldwide.
Wright has already won two of the three European Tour events held so far this year, and will be the number one seed for the Gibraltar Darts Trophy.
2014 Gibraltar Darts Trophy winner James Wade will be back on "The Rock" as he bids to win his second title in the event, while former World Champions Adrian Lewis, Jelle Klaasen, Steve Beaton and Stephen Bunting are also in action.
Premier League stars Dave Chisnall and Kim Huybrechts, European Championship finalist Mensur Suljovic and Spain's Cristo Reyes are also set to compete in the tournament.
A further eight European Qualifiers will be discovered on May 4, before the Host Nation Qualifier on May 11 completes the field and is followed by the draw.
