Germany's Rene Eidams was the winner of the German qualifier, as he edged out Maik Langendorf 10-8 in their final to earn his first appearance in a major championship.
Eidams, a qualifier for the 2014 German Darts Championship in his only previous appearance on the European Tour, edged through the group phase on leg difference following a 6-1 win over Sascha Stein, and also defeated Ricardo Pietreczko in the seim-finals.
Groen, meanwhile, followed up his PDC Unicorn Development Tour win in October by qualifying for his World Championship debut at the Central Europe Qualifier on Sunday.
