Which eight players have progressed through qualifying to reach the inaugural PDC Winmau World Masters main draw?

Kevin Doets is among the eight players who have qualified for the inaugural PDC Winmau World Masters that takes place later this week.

The Dutchman made an impact at the recent World Championship by edging out former world champion Michael Smith in the second round, and the 26-year-old has sealed a place at another televised major with victories over Andy Boulton, Radek Szaganski and Dylan Slevin.

European Championship runner-up Jermaine Wattimena has joined his compatriot in the last 32, beating Nick Kenny 2-1 in the best-of-three-sets format.

Scotland's Cameron Menzies was the star performer of the final round, averaging in excess of 106 to see off emerging Dutch star Gian van Veen.

Bradley Brooks continued his recent strong form by recording a 2-0 win over Poland's Krzysztof Ratajski, while former WDF star Andy Baetens beat Darius Labanauskas.

Ireland's William O'Connor got the better of Richard Veenstra to reach the last 32, with Florian Hempel beating Gabriel Clemens in the battle of the Germans.

Who will Littler play in Masters first round?

PDC world champion Luke Littler will square off against former WDF world champion Baetens, with Michael van Gerwen to face Brooks in what is one of the most intriguing ties of the round.

World number one Luke Humphries goes up against Joe Cullen, while Stephen Bunting - the defending champion from the previous format - will meet Scotland's William Borland who won a last-leg decider with Mickey Mansell to progress.
