Gerwyn Price will open his 2026 bet365 US Darts Masters campaign against Canadian debutant Brayden Hall at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night, giving the 2024 runner-up an immediate big-stage test as the World Series returns to New York.
The tie sits second on the opening-night order of play, with eight PDC representatives facing eight North American players before Friday’s finals session. Price is one of two Welsh names in the draw, with Jonny Clayton also in action against Gary Mawson.
Price Draw Adds Welsh Focus To MSG Opener
Price has been placed in a loaded top half that also includes Luke Littler against David Cameron and Josh Rock against Jim Long. The winner of Price versus Hall will move into Friday’s quarter-finals, where the route tightens quickly in a sprint format.
Hall arrives as one of the North American representatives and also has a Friday afternoon North American Championship quarter-final against Jim Long, so his New York trip carries two immediate routes to attention. Sky Sports’ US Darts Masters schedule lists the Price-Hall meeting for the opening round before the tournament concludes with the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final on Friday evening.
For Price, the assignment is clear: avoid a short-format stumble, then chase a second straight deep Madison Square Garden run on a stage that can punish slow starts.
