Australian Darts Masters to take place in Wollongong

The 2026 World Series of Darts moves to Wollongong, Australia, for the Australian Darts Masters. This two-day event serves as the final stop before the World Series of Darts Finals in the Netherlands.

The tournament field will consist of 16 players: eight PDC representatives and eight Oceanian qualifiers. Notable PDC representatives include Gerwyn Price, Gian van Veen, Jonny Clayton, James Wade, Stephen Bunting, Josh Rock, Damon Heta, and Ross Smith. High-profile players such as Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, and Michael van Gerwen will not participate in this event.

The Oceanian qualifiers include seven Australians and one New Zealander, headlined by former European Champion Simon Whitlock. Other regional qualifiers are Adam Leek, Raymond Smith, Brody Klinge, Tim Pusey, Joe Comito, Mal Cuming, and Ben Robb.

Following the recent New Zealand Darts Masters in Auckland, players like Gian van Veen have been engaging with local culture during the tour.
