Michael van Gerwen has been handed a tough draw for the European Championship, which takes place in Belgium later this month.
The world number one has been drawn to play Simon Whitlock and if he comes through that clash, he could face Northern Ireland's Daryl Gurney, who beat him at the German Darts Championship on Sunday.
James Wade will face Gary Anderson in what is the pick of the first-round ties, while Phil Taylor - who is unseeded for this event - will take on Alan Norris.
Second seed Mensur Suljovic will play Jermaine Wattimena, with third seed Peter Wright taking on Justin Pipe.
