It's almost time for another hectic season of PDC darts to begin as the world's top 16 head to Milton Keynes for the eighth staging of the curtain-raising Masters.

Only two players in the field know what it's like to lift this trophy and one of those - James Wade - has probably forgotten considering it was six long years ago, while just three others competing this weekend have ever reached the final.

Adrian Lewis was runner-up to Phil Taylor back in the inaugural edition of 2013, with Dave Chisnall and Gary Anderson being two of Michael van Gerwen's victims alongside the now retired Raymond van Barneveld (twice) and Wade.
