Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 11 May automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.
The remaining 32 places went to players from five qualifying events – 18 from the UK Qualifier, eight from the West/South European Qualifier, four from the Host Nation Qualifier, one from the Nordic & Baltic Qualifier and one from the East European Qualifier.
Adrian Lewis withdrew for health reasons the day before the event, meaning a fifth Host Nation Qualifier took his place.
On 2 July, Joe Cullen withdrew before his third round match after his father suffered a heart attack; consequently Mensur Suljović was given a bye to the quarter-finals.
