THE WORLDS BEST DARTS PLAYERS ARE BACK FOR THE DUBAI DUTY FREE DARTS MASTERS

EIGHT of the world’s top darts players are heading back to Dubai for its fourth event- Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters - which will be played on May 26 & 27 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium as the first leg of the PDC's World Series of Darts 2016.

Michael van Gerwen, the reigning Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters Champion, will head the field of eight players, to try to win an unprecedented fourth straight title. van Gerwen will be joined by seven world-class rivals in competing in the two-day event at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, which will be shown live across the Middle East on Dubai Sports TV, with further live coverage to be confirmed.

After making his debut at the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters 2015, two-time World Champion, Gary Anderson will return to try and claim this title for the first time. "I am very much looking forward to returning to Dubai," said Anderson.
"Having just retained the World Championship, I want to try and take this title off MVG. The atmosphere was fantastic in the Dubai Tennis Stadium last year and I enjoyed playing in our only outdoor World Series Event!”

The greatest player in darts, Phil “The Power” Taylor is also back in Dubai and will be joined by two-time World Champion Adrian Lewis. The other 4 players will be announced in the next few weeks to make up the top 8 players.

Oh, you are saying this is a fact!
Well it wouldn't surprise me, RVB doesn't enter anything anymore, only goes to the tv comps.
Though Taylor got away with it for years but then he was No1
