Adam Leek and Simon Whitlock are already part of the 2026 KenoGO Australian Darts Masters field, leaving one DPNZ qualifier as the final open Oceanic place for Wollongong on August 21-22.
The PDC’s latest field update confirmed five Australian Darts Association qualifiers for the WIN Entertainment Centre, but it also sharpened the wider local picture. Raymond Smith, Brody Klinge, Tim Pusey, Joe Comito and Darren Penhall have joined Leek and Whitlock, with only the New Zealand route still to complete the eight-player Oceanic half of the draw.
That matters because the local representatives will be paired against an elite PDC group featuring Gian van Veen, Jonny Clayton, James Wade, Josh Rock, Gerwyn Price, Stephen Bunting, Ross Smith and Damon Heta.
Leek and Whitlock give Wollongong its local spine
Leek’s presence gives Australia another current Tour Card name in the field, while Whitlock’s return keeps one of the country’s most recognisable figures in the World Series spotlight. The PDC said the five ADA qualifiers had been added to the line-up for the 2026 KenoGO Australian Darts Masters, completing all but one Oceanic berth.
The remaining DPNZ place now becomes the last moving part before the draw. Once that qualifier is known, Wollongong will have its full 16-player shape: eight PDC representatives against eight Oceanic players, and a clear route for one home-region name to make a World Series statement.
