Defending champion Peter Wright is back in the mix and on the hunt to retain his crown, but he will be up against stern opponents throughout the field.
While he hasn't quite sparkled in 2020, Michael van Gerwen remains the hot favourite to win the title, while Gerwyn Price is also in contention.
Michael Smith, Jose de Sousa and Nathan Aspinall are also among the outsiders to challenge the elite, and anything can happen in this tournament, as proven definitely by Rob Cross in years gone by.
