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On 27 July, it was announced that Peter Wright had withdrawn from the three Oceania events for medical reasons, and so was replaced by the current World Series Order of Merit leader Dimitri Van den Bergh .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