Michael van Gerwen, the current reigning champion for four years in a row and recent World Champion for a third time is outright favourite to claim the title again. Mainly due to Anderson and his exploits at the World Championship, Michael Smith is second favourite for the title. Then Rob Cross and Peter Wright figure on the list with both despite not really being in great form as of lat having experience especially of reaching the latter stages. The players seen as least likely is Darren Webster and Jonny Clayton with both players at the latter end of the top 16. to visit the
Masters tournament centre. 4/7 Michael van Gerwen 7/1 Michael Smith 9/1 Rob Cross 12/1 Peter Wright 25/1 Mensur Suljovic 28/1 Adrian Lewis, Gerwyn Price 33/1 James Wade, Daryl Gurney 40/1 Dave Chisnall 66/1 Stephen Bunting, Joe Cullen, Ian White 80/1 Ian White 150/1 Darren Webster, Jonny Clayton
