The Professional Darts Corporation has launched the PDC Home Tour, which will begin on Friday evening.

The creation of the new tournament comes after the three Premier League Darts nights for May, including the originally scheduled Play-Offs at The O2, were all postponed, with Finals Night now set for Sheffield in October.
