2022 US Darts Masters Schedule, Venue, Draw, and Playing Line-up
The much-anticipated tournament at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater got off to a strong start, with Gates advancing to the quarterfinal scheduled on Saturday. He came back from a leg down to lead 4-1 against Sherrock, who fought back in leg six but couldn’t stop Gates from winning with finishes of 70 and 82.
Gates will now face World Champion and world number one Peter Wright, who beat top-ranked American Danny Baggish 6-4 to advance to the next round. Baggish of Florida led 2-1 early on, but Wright’s 121 finish on a 12-darter in leg four ignited a run of three consecutive legs that placed him in command.
Gary Anderson, the defending US Darts Masters champion, started his quest for a second title with a 6-3 victory over Matt Campbell, despite the Scot having to play with borrowed darts. On Saturday Anderson will face Michael Smith in the quarter-finals, after the former Shanghai Darts Masters champion defeated big-stage rookie Doug Boehm 6-3.
Meanwhile, 2017 winner Michael van Gerwen defeated Dutch-born American Jules van Dongen 6-4. Van Gerwen will now face James Wade in the quarterfinals, when the left-hander defeated Canadian number one Jeff Smith 6-2.
