Vincent van der Voort was the defending champion from the 2014 tournament, but lost in the first round to Steve Beaton.

Phil Taylor won the event after beating Michael Smith 6–4 in the final, in what was his first (and what would turn out to be his last) PDC European Tour event since the 2014 Gibraltar Darts Trophy.
