2017 Grand Slam of Darts

Darts tournamentTemplate:SHORTDESC:Darts tournament
The **2017 bwin Grand Slam of Darts**, was the eleventh staging of the Grand Slam of Darts tournament, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. The event took place from 11–19 November 2017 at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall, Wolverhampton, England.

Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion by defeating James Wade 16–8 in the 2016 final, and he retained his title for a 3rd consecutive year by beating Peter Wright 16–12 in this year's final.

## Prize money

The prize fund for the Grand Slam was increased from £400,000 in 2016 to £450,000 in 2017, with the winner getting £110,000, as opposed to £100,000.

## Qualifying

The qualification criteria was confirmed on 6 June.

### PDC Qualifying Tournaments

At most sixteen players could qualify through this method, where the position in the list depicts the priority of the qualification.

In case 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 2017 European Tour events, in which the winners shall be selected in Order of Merit position order at the cut-off date.

Had there still been less than sixteen qualified players after the winners of European Tour events were added, the winners of 2017 Players Championship events would have been added, followed by the winners of the qualifying tournaments for the 2017 UK Open. As there were already 16 qualified players after the first two qualification methods, no player qualified via the Players Championships and UK Open qualifying events. This resulted in Adrian Lewis missing the tournament for the first time.

### PDC qualifying event

A further eight places in the Grand Slam of Darts will be filled by qualifiers from a PDC qualifier that took place in Wigan on 6 November.

These were the qualifiers:

* James Wilson
* Robbie Green
* Joe Murnan
* Alan Norris
* Jeffrey de Zwaan
* Darren Webster
* Steve Lennon
* Stephen Bunting

### BDO Ranking Qualifiers

The remaining five BDO representatives were the top five non-qualified players from the BDO Invitational Rankings at 30 September.

The five qualifiers were confirmed on 10 October, and were:

* Mark McGeeney
* Jamie Hughes
* Scott Mitchell
* Ross Montgomery
* Cameron Menzies
