We'll bring you all the action live from the start of the tournament on Saturday July 18 with the final taking place on July 26.

The players all know they have one man to beat if they are going to get their hands on the trophy. Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor has dominated the competition since its inception in 1995, winning the title on 15 occasions – including the last seven – and goes into the tournament as the holder having beating Michael van Gerwen last year - MvG shed a tear after the loss!
