The eight-strong PDC field has been confirmed for the 2023 bet365 US Darts Masters, with world number one Michael Smith and three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen set to toe the oche in New York once more.
The world famous Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden will play host to the Big Apple's second staging of the event in June, as eight PDC representatives are joined by eight of North America's most talented arrowists.
The current PDC Order of Merit top four - Smith, van Gerwen, Price and Peter Wright - will be accompanied by former US Darts Masters winner Nathan Aspinall, 2018 runner-up Rob Cross, Belgian star Dimitri van den Bergh and world number six Luke Humphries.
Meanwhile, fellow PDC Tour Card holders Jeff Smith, Matt Campbell, Jules van Dongen and 2022 CDC Continental Cup champion Alex Spellman will head up the US contingent - with the final four spots to be determined by Stateside qualifiers in May.
The bet365 US Darts Masters, which will take place across Friday, June 2nd and Saturday June 3rd, will see the eight PDC stars competing against leading local talents, with a prize fund of £60,000 up for grabs, £20,000 of which is on offer for the victor.
- Michael Smith reigned supreme at the iconic MSG last year - can he repeat his heroics this time around? -
The inaugural bet365 US Darts Masters event in New York 12 months ago proved a huge success as reigning world champion Smith notched a near 100 three-dart average en-route to an impressive 8-4 triumph over 'MVG' in the best-of-15-leg final - and the 2023 event promises to be equally as enthralling.
The bet365 US Darts Masters is the third of six events that form the 2023 World Series of Darts.
Tournaments have already taken place in Bahrain and Denmark, with the New York showpiece this summer preceding further events in New Zealand and Australia in August, before Amsterdam plays host to the finals a month later.
Customers can enjoy all of the action from the Hulu Theatre, along with all other World Series of Darts events, right here at bet365, with live streaming available from every competition, meaning you don't have to miss a single dart thrown (Live Streaming Rules apply).
Alongside the bet365 US Darts Masters, the bet365 North American Championship will also take place, seeing the eight North American qualifiers facing off for the title and a hugely sought-after spot at the 2024 World Darts Championship.
