Just before the tournament, it was announced that the winner and runner-up of this event (and the following New South Wales Darts Masters) would receive boomerang-style trophies in honour of Kyle Anderson , who died in 2021, with the best Oceanic player across the 3 Oceanic World Series events (Queensland, New South Wales and New Zealand) receiving the Kyle Anderson Memorial Trophy. [1] Gordon Mathers would win this trophy, owing to his run to the semi-finals in this tournament. [2]

Michael van Gerwen won his 17th World Series title after defeating Gerwyn Price 8–5 in the final. [3]

Qualifiers

The PDC announced 6 of the 8 players who would be their representatives at the event on 11 April 2022, including Fallon Sherrock, who was denied her chance to appear on the 2020 World Series of Darts circuit, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. [4] On 30 May 2022, it was announced that Jonny Clayton and Joe Cullen would complete the field of PDC representatives. [5]

On 27 July, it was announced that Peter Wright had withdrawn from the three Oceania events for medical reasons, and so was replaced by the current World Series Order of Merit leader Dimitri Van den Bergh . [6]

The seedings were based on the World Series Order of Merit following the first 3 events.
