17 players have guaranteed their place in this year's Grand Slam, which will see 32 players competing for the Eric Bristow Trophy and £550,000 in prize money from November 13-21 at the Aldersley Leisure Village, Wolverhampton.
World Champion Gerwyn Price and 2020 Grand Slam winner Jose de Sousa head up the list of 17 players who have already secured qualification for this year's event.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Michael van Gerwen is also among the qualifiers, along with former finalists Peter Wright, James Wade and Gary Anderson.
World Cup runner-up Mensur Suljovic occupies the 12th qualification place ahead of his Austrian teammate Rowby-John Rodriguez by virtue of his higher PDC Order of Merit position.
