# 2022 New South Wales Darts Masters

The 2022 PalmerBet New South Wales Darts Masters was the first staging of the tournament by the Professional Darts Corporation, and the fifth entry in the 2022 World Series of Darts. The tournament featured 16 players (eight PDC players and eight regional qualifiers) and was held at the WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong, Australia on 19–20 August 2022.
Just before the tournament, it was announced that the winner and runner-up of this event (and the preceding Queensland Darts Masters) will receive boomerang-style trophies in honour of Kyle Anderson, who died in 2021, with the best Oceanic player across the 3 Oceanic World Series events (Queensland, New South Wales and New Zealand) receiving the Kyle Anderson Memorial Trophy.
Jonny Clayton won his second World Series title after defeating James Wade 8–1 in the final.

On 30 May 2022, it was announced that Jonny Clayton and Joe Cullen would complete the field of PDC representatives.
On 27 July, it was announced that Peter Wright had withdrawn from the three Oceania events for medical reasons, and so was replaced by the current World Series Order of Merit leader Dimitri Van den Bergh.
