Christian Perez won the tournament, defeating Paolo Nebrida 7–5 in the final. Perez, Nebrida, plus semi-finalists Lourence Ilagan and Toru Suzuki all qualified for the World Championship as a result of this tournament, with Perez also qualifying for the Grand Slam, becoming only the second Asian player after Mikuru Suzuki to do so.

This was the first edition of the tournament, which was created following the inability to revive the successful PDC Asian Tour, which had not been able to be run since 2019, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. [2]
