Damon Heta will take on Adam Hunt in round 1 of the 2020 European Darts Grand Prix, the winner will face no 13 seed and former World Champion Rob Cross
The year’s third of four European Tour events will see a 48-player field competing from October 16-18 at the Glaspalast, with coverage being streamed through PDCTV and bookmakers’ websites worldwide.
South Africa’s Petersen was the winner as the European Tour resumed at the German Darts Championship in Hildesheim last month, and was amongst the qualifiers for the Sindelfingen event, where he takes on Ward.
Former European Tour finalist John Henderson will play Belgium’s Kim Huybrechts in another tasty first round tie, while an all-German clash sees Gabriel Clemens take on Steffen Siepmann.
The 16 seeded players will enter at the second round stage on Saturday, headlined by world number one Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price, who won the BoyleSports World Grand Prix on Monday.
From the original field of players, Peter Wright, Adrian Lewis, Ryan Joyce and Darren Webster have withdrawn. Jose De Sousa and Vincent van der Voort become seeded players, and four additional Host Nation Qualifiers come into the event.
Two players will also come from Thursday’s PDPA Associate Member Qualifier in Sindelfingen.
The European Darts Grand Prix will be broadcast through PDCTV as well as through a series of bookmakers’ websites worldwide.
Fans can sign up from Friday morning for a £2.99 PDCTV event pass covering every session of the European Darts Grand Prix & the PDC Women’s Series.
