THE Scottish Sun will sponsor the Scottish Players Championship to be held at the Thistle Hotel in Glasgow on Saturday April 19.
The Scottish Sun Scottish Players Championship is a new PDC Pro Tour event, with £20,000 in prize money up for grabs next Saturday.
The best darts players in the world, including 13-time World Champion Phil Taylor and current PDC Player of the Year James Wade will be heading the world-class field, all with their eye on the £5,000 top prize.
Glasgow's Thistle Hotel will stage the event in its Grand Ballroom, with games being played simultaneously on 16 boards as well as with selected games from the early rounds, the semi-finals and final being on stage.
The Scottish Sun will sponsor the tournament, furthering their links with the PDC following their coverage of the Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts and other major PDC events.
"We are grateful to The Scottish Sun for their support of this new tournament," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.
"Darts is immensely popular in Scotland, as proven by sell-out crowds for the Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts in Glasgow and Aberdeen this year, and I'm sure this will be an equally successful tournament."
Spectator tickets will be available exclusively from The Scottish Sun ticketline. For tickets please call 08700 132 652. Tickets are priced £10 plus £1.50 booking fee.
