Gerwyn Price became the inaugural champion after defeating Michael Smith 8–2 in the final, winning his 4th European Tour title.[1]

This was the first PDC tournament held in Hungary; the tournament was originally scheduled to take place in 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Qualification and format

edit

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 28 June automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.[3]

The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 9 July), one from the UK Associate Member Qualifier (held on 9 August), one from the European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 5 July), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (as there are no Hungarian Tour Card holders) (held on 31 July), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held in early 2020, and carried over[4]), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held in 2020 and carried over).

Danny Noppert withdrew prior to the tournament, which meant Rob Cross became a seed, and a random player was drawn to receive a bye to round two. That player was William O'Connor.[5]
