# 2019 Grand Slam of Darts

The 2019 BoyleSports Grand Slam of Darts was the thirteenth staging of the tournament, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. The event took place from 9–17 November 2019 in Wolverhampton, England, and like in 2018, it took place at Aldersley Leisure Village.
The tournament's defending champion was Gerwyn Price, who won his first PDC major title by defeating Gary Anderson 16–13, in a highly controversial final in 2018. Price successfully defended the title to win his second PDC major, beating Peter Wright 16–6 with the second highest average in a Grand Slam final.

At most sixteen players could qualify through this method, where the position in the list depicts the priority of the qualification.
As the list of qualifiers from the main tournaments produced fewer than sixteen players, the field of sixteen players is filled from the reserve lists. The first list consists of the winners from 2019 European Tour events, in which the winners are ordered by number of event wins then in Order of Merit position order at the cut-off date.
PDC European Tour :
| Tournament | Event | Position | Player | Qualifiers |

| 2019 European Tour | European Darts Open | Winner | Michael van Gerwen | Ian White |

If there were still less than sixteen qualified players after the winners of European Tour events are added, then the winners of 2019 Players Championships events would have been added, firstly by winners of multiple events followed by Order of Merit order, but that was not needed for this year's competition.
