Canada’s Jeff Smith will return to defend his bet365 North American Championship title in New York next month, with the 16-player field for darts’ annual visit to Madison Square Garden now confirmed.
Smith was one of three players to secure qualification for both the bet365 US Darts Masters and North American Championship last weekend, sealing his spot alongside fellow Canadian David Cameron and Arizona’s Adam Sevada.
Smith won Sunday's second CDC Qualifier in Indianapolis, edging out American newcomer Sevada in a deciding-leg tie to confirm his place in this year's World Series of Darts event.
Smith enjoyed a memorable campaign in New York 12 months ago, following up his second North American Championship triumph with a run to the US Darts Masters final, defeating Peter Wright, Nathan Aspinall and Luke Humphries along the way.
