2024 PDC Asian Championship qualifiers confirmed ahead of main event

Haruki Muramatsu (PDC Asia)

Haruki Muramatsu will begin his defence of the PDC Asian Championship title on Saturday in Manila - watch this weekend on PDCTV.

Following two days of qualifiers, the 48-player field for this year's event have now been confirmed - as 16 players joined players from the PDC Asian Tour Order of Merit and a series of international qualifiers.

A $100,000 prize fund is on offer in the event, alongside places in the Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts for the eventual champion and the Paddy Power World Darts Championship for both finalists.

Muramatsu was last year's champion and will be seeded fifth for the 2024 event, with seeding based on the PDC Asian Tour Order of Merit and headlined by Philippines stars Alexis Toylo and Lourence Ilagan.

2022 Asian Championship winner Christian Perez will be bidding to recapture the title, while iconic Singapore ace Paul Lim is also in action.

Saturday's first of two days of action will feature the round-robin stage, with players split into 16 groups, before the group winners then progress to play in the last 16.

Sunday will then see the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final take place.

The PDC Asian Championship will be streamed on PDCTV for all subscribers worldwide.
