"We've spent the last few weeks planning and looking at what is possible, and I'm delighted to be able to present a concept which gives all Tour Card Holders the opportunity to take part." Hearn added fans will be able to tune in for free via PDCTV - if they are registered users - and on a series of bookmakers websites.
