It featured a field of 48 players and £135,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.

Ian White won his tenth PDC title and his first on the European Tour, defeating Ricky Evans 8–5 in the final.

This is how the prize money is divided: Prize money will count towards the PDC Order of Merit, the ProTour Order of Merit and the European Tour Order of Merit, with one exception: should a seeded player lose in the second round (last 32), their prize money will not count towards any Orders of Merit, although they still receive the full prize money payment.

[1][2] The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 30 August will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.

Mensur Suljović, who would have been the number 3 seed, withdrew from the tournament prior to the draw.
