PDC World Masters 2026: Players

28 January – 1 February 2026 · Arena MK (Marshall Arena), Milton Keynes

The field of the PDC World Masters 2026 comprised 32 players: the top 24 of the PDC Order of Merit after the World Championship plus eight qualifiers from the preliminary round. A total of 120 players competed for those eight places on 28 January 2026; Jimmy van Schie, Connor Scutt, Wessel Nijman, James Hurrell, Jeffrey de Graaf, Shane McGuirk, Niels Zonneveld and Madars Razma came through. The defending champion was Luke Humphries, who had won the title in 2025 in a dramatic final against Jonny Clayton. The biggest surprise of the first round came from Damon Heta, who knocked out five-time Masters winner Michael van Gerwen 3-1; all eight qualifiers also went out in round one. Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price, Jonny Clayton and Gian van Veen, by contrast, progressed comfortably. Source
