THE draw for the 2022 Ladbrokes Masters, which gets underway on Friday January 28 in Milton Keynes, has thrown up an all-St Helens clash.

The £220,000 tournament will once again see 24 players in action at the Marshall Arena, with the first round featuring players ranked 9-24 on the PDC Order of Merit.

Friday's opening night will see all eight first round ties take place including Dave Chisnall's clash with Stephen Bunting.

The second round is split across two sessions on Saturday January 29, with World Championship runner up Michael Smith taking on the winner of the Krzysztof Ratajski v Gabriel Clemens opening round tie.

A star-studded evening session will also see Peter Wright make his first appearance as a two-time World Champion, with world number one Gerwyn Price and five-time Masters winner Michael van Gerwen also taking to the stage.

The tournament will conclude on Sunday January 30, with the quarter-finals in the afternoon session and the semi-finals and final in the evening session.

The Ladbrokes Masters will be broadcast live on ITV4 in the UK, through the PDC's worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay, and on PDCTV (excluding UK and Netherlands based subscribers).
