TA Pro Tour 7 Draw

Now we get into the interesting stuff - the sixteen players mentioned in the previous post drop out, and sixteen of our twenty-four challengers will make a TA Pro Tour debut in event 7. For those who don't want to trawl through walls of text, the previous finals were:

1) Geert Nentjes 6-5 Ian White
2) Gerwyn Price 6-4 Peter Wright
3) Michael van Gerwen 6-1 Rob Cross
4) Peter Wright 6-4 Chris Dobey
5) Glen Durrant 6-4 Devon Petersen
6) Krzysztof Ratajski 6-4 Simon Whitlock

So we've had 11 different finalists - only the current world champ has managed to get to more than one final. This gives us a current top sixteen of Wright, van Gerwen, Price, Durrant, Nentjes, Ratajski, Cross, White, Dobey, Wade, Clayton, Whitlock, Petersen, van den Bergh, Gurney and Lowe in that order. But we want to talk about event 7 - here's the draw:
