The Irishman reached the third round of the prestigious championship for the first time since 2019 last year.
Limerick’s William O’Connor will play Beau Greaves in the first round of the PDC World Championships next month after the draw was made yesterday.
Greaves will become the youngest woman to compete at the World Darts Championship when she makes her debut against the Cappamore native.
The winner will move on to play Germany number one Gabriel Clemens in the second round.
Last year, O’Connor reached the third round of the championships for the first time in three years where he was beaten 4-2 by Michael Smith. The Englishman went on to reach the final of the tournament where he was beaten by Peter Wright.
The Limerick man is currently 37th in the PDC Order of Merit maintaining that position after breaking into the top 40 after last year’s World Championship run.
Greaves meanwhile is the WDF Women’s World Number One as the 18-year-old prepares for a first tilt on the world championships.
The 2022/23 Cazoo World Darts Championship will take place from December 15-January 3 at the Alexandra Palace, London.
The festive feast of darts will see 96 players from across the world, including the PDC’s top stars, competing for £2.5million in prize money.
The tournament will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK, through the PDC’s worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay, and on PDCTV (excluding UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria & Switzerland based subscribers).
