Bookmaker Ladbrokes has agreed to become the new title sponsor of the Professional Darts Corporation’s World Series of Darts Finals.
Although terms of the agreement were not disclosed, it was confirmed that the deal will cover this year’s edition of the season-ending tournament, which will take place at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow, Scotland, from November 5-6.
The event, which will now be known as the Ladbrokes PDC World Series of Darts Finals, will feature the top eight players in the World Series rankings following the six contests in Dubai, Auckland, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney and Perth.
An additional 16 players from separate qualifying contests will also feature and compete in the first round, with the eight seeded players entering the tournament in the second round.
The 2016 World Series of Darts Finals will be the second edition of the contest, which was won last year by Dutchman Michael van Gerwen (pictured).
