PDC Austrian Darts Open- Revised Draw

PHIL TAYLOR, Adrian Lewis and Simon Whitlock have withdrawn from the Austrian Darts Open event in Wiener Neustadt this weekend.

As a result of their withdrawal, three further places will be on offer in Thursday's final qualifying events as direct replacements for the trio.

Two additional European Qualifiers and one further Host Nation Qualifier will now win places in the £100,000 event's first round as a result of the withdrawals.

Jim Walker and Steve Hine will both play European Qualifiers, while Steve Beaton comes up against an Austrian player who will come through the Host Nation Qualifier.

The Austrian Darts Open will kick off on Friday May 31, with the first round games being split across two sessions at the Arena Nova in Wiener Neustadt, with ten matches per session taking place on the Main Stage.

The second round will be split across two sessions on Saturday, with the third round on Sunday afternoon before the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final take place on Sunday evening.
