Dimitri Van den Bergh will star in the opening game of the inaugural Nordic Darts Masters, with the schedule of play confirmed for the World Series of Darts event in Copenhagen.
Following the Cazoo World Cup of Darts last weekend, focus now turns to the World Series of Darts as 16 players compete in the first Nordic Darts Masters on September 17-18.
Former World Series event runner-up Van den Bergh will take on Swedish World Cup representative Johan Engström in the first of eight round one ties to take place at Forum Copenhagen on the evening of Friday September 17.
Eight PDC stars will take on the Nordic & Baltic representatives in the first round, as 2021 Premier League champion Jonny Clayton makes his World Series event debut in the second game of the night against Denmark's Ivan Springborg Poulsen.
Former US Darts Masters winner Nathan Aspinall will then take on Latvian PDC Tour Card Holder Madars Razma, before World Champion Gerwyn Price meets Swedish number one Daniel Larsson and Gary Anderson plays Andreas Toft Jørgensen.
History-maker Fallon Sherrock will then make her first televised PDC outing since last September against Danish World Cup representative Niels Heinsøe.
The final two games of the opening night will see World Matchplay champion Peter Wright and world number three Michael van Gerwen in action against Finland's Marko Kantele and Lithuania's Darius Labanauskas respectively.
The afternoon session on Saturday September 18 will feature the quarter-finals, before the decisive evening session will see the semi-finals and final before the champion is crowned.
Tickets for the Nordic Darts Masters are available through Ticketmaster.
