Michael van Gerwen will begin the defence of his Players Championship Finals title against Andy Hamilton on Friday. The field has doubled in size this year, and 64 players will convene in Minehead in pursuit of the £400,000 prize.Qualification depends on results in the 20 Players Championship events throughout 2016 - Van Gerwen won five so will be No 1 seed. His upcoming opponent Hamilton has been drafted in as 64th seed because Kyle Anderson has withdrawn with visa issues. Benito van de Pas and Ian White are seeded second and third, respectively, after winning three Players Championship events each this year.The World Championship is live on Sky Sports between December 15 - January 2.Players Championship Finals first-round drawMichael van Gerwen (1) v Andy Hamilton (64)Vincent van der Voort (32) v Andrew Gilding (33)Josh Payne (16) v Mark Walsh (49)Cristo Reyes (17) v Berry van Peer (48)Mensur Suljovic (8) v Raymond van Barneveld (57)Adrian Lewis (25) v Robert Thornton (40)Joe Cullen (9) v Steve Brown (56)Ronny Huybrechts (24) v Rowby-John Rodriguez (41)Gerwyn Price (5) v Dimitri Van den Bergh (60)Christian Kist (28) v Ricky Evans (37)Steve West (12) v Jan Dekker (53)Justin Pipe (21) v Andy Jenkins (44)Simon Whitlock (4) v Matthew Edgar (61)Darren Webster (29) v Jonny Clayton (36)Chris Dobey (13) v Mick McGowan (52)Alan Norris (20) v Michael Smith (45)Benito van de Pas (2) v Brendan Dolan (63)Joe Murnan (31) v Jermaine Wattimena (34)Kim Huybrechts (15) v Mickey Mansell (50)Daryl Gurney (18) v Ronnie Baxter (47)Peter Wright (7) v Jason Wilson (58)James Wade (26) v Mervyn King (39)Stephen Bunting (10) v Ron Meulenkamp (55)Gary Anderson (23) v John Henderson (42)Dave Chisnall (6) v Kevin Painter (59)Jamie Caven (27) v Jamie Lewis (38)James Wilson (11) v Vincent Kamphuis (54)Jelle Klaasen (22) v Simon Stevenson (43)Ian White (3) v Keegan Brown (62)Mark Webster (30) v Terry Jenkins (35)Steve Beaton (14) v Jeffrey de Graaf (51)Robbie Green (19) v Devon Petersen (46) Also See: Sky Bets darts odds On Sky TV Schedule Features Get Sky Sports Elgin Baylor Jersey .
