The PalmerBet QLD Masters Darts. FINALS Saturday held at the Townsville Entertainment Centre, Townsville, Qld, Australia.
The future of the Australian leg of the World Series of Darts has been secured for the next four years after the Professional Darts Corporation and Foxtel Group extended its long-standing relationship to at least 2027.
