FORMER European Tour winners Raymond van Barneveld, Kim Huybrechts, Steve Beaton and Mervyn King will be in action on Friday's opening day of the 2019 Austrian Darts Open.
The £140,000 tournament sees 48 players competing at the Premstättner Halle in Graz from May 3-5, with the action streamed through video.pdc.tv and bookmakers' websites worldwide.
Friday's first round will see the 32 qualifiers competing across two sessions, with the 16 seeded players entering the action in round two on Saturday.
Five-time World Champion Van Barneveld will headline Friday's action as he takes on Mark Wilson, with the Dutchman having won through to the last 16 at the German Darts Open last weekend.
Belgian ace Huybrechts faces UK Open champion Nathan Aspinall in arguably the tie of the first round, while King will play Devon Petersen and Beaton meets Mark Barilli.
Wednesday's Players Championship 14 winner Jeffrey de Zwaan will play Benjamin Fasching, who was one of four Host Nation Qualifiers to come through Thursday's knockouts for Austrian players in Graz.
Stephen Bunting, Wednesday's runner-up to De Zwaan, will play Patrick van den Boogaard, who was one of two West & South Europe Qualifiers to make it through Thursday's knockouts.
The 16 seeded players who will enter in Saturday's second round are headlined by World Champion Michael van Gerwen, who has won three of the four European Tour events held already in 2019.
German Darts Championship winner Daryl Gurney will also be in action, alongside Austrian favourite Mensur Suljovic and former World Champions Rob Cross and Adrian Lewis.
