I am from Wigan. The home of pie shops, Uncle Joe mint balls, the Wigan pier, the mighty Wigan Athletic, Thugby league team the warriors and once home to Wigan casino (which they knocked down and now a shopping centre is built on the site).
Oh, and a major hub for PDC darts and the venue for lancs county team. Thus a true 'all darter' town (like myself).

Re: Australian Open 2019
Stunning isn't it? Some other nuggets from the website, one confirming that the event will be held on August 1st - 3rd, the other stating that Asset 180 Holdings have become a major sponsor for three years:

Re: Australian Open 2019
Most of the details now on the website. Total prize money for this event is Aus $70,000 (£37,500). Looks like the format of the Finder Darts Masters has some fans down under! What will DPA and PDC make of this I wonder?

Re: Australian Open 2019
I can confirm that you are not
Worth noting that the Ladies first prize will be the second biggest in the WDF/BDO side of darts behind the Worlds, and the overall womens prize pot is the third biggest. For just 6 players mind you.
