Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion after defeating Steve Lennon 8–5 in the final of the 2018 tournament.

However, Ian White ended Van Gerwen's five-year winning run in the tournament by beating him 8–7 in the final to win his third European Tour title.

The result also ended Van Gerwen's 28-game winning streak in European Tour last-leg deciders.

Qualification and format

edit

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 7 May will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.

The remaining 32 places will go to players from six qualifying events – 18 from the UK Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 17 May), six from the European Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 17 May), two from the West & South European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 18 May), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 23 May), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 8 March) and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 10 March).

From 2019, the Host Nation, Nordic & Baltic and East European Qualifiers will only be available to non-tour card holders. Any tour card holders from the applicable regions will have to play the main European Qualifier.

Rob Cross, who was set to be the 7th seed, withdrew prior to the tournament. All seeds below him moved up a place, with Michael Smith becoming sixteenth seed, and an extra place being made available in the Host Nation Qualifier.

James Wade, the 5th seed, withdrew from the tournament after the draw and was not replaced, with his second round opponent Glen Durrant receiving a bye.

The following players will take part in the tournament:
