The 2017 Unibet World Grand Prix will be the 20th staging of the World Grand Prix. It will be played from October 1–7 at the Citywest Hotel in Dublin.
Michael van Gerwen is the defending champion after defeating Gary Anderson 5–2 in the last year's final.
The total prize money remains at £400,000. The following is the breakdown of the fund:
The field of 32 players will be made up from the top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit on September 11. In a change to qualification from recent years, the top two non-qualified residents of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland now no longer get an automatic qualification spot. Instead, the remaining 16 places are going to the top 16 non-qualified players from the ProTour Order of Merit. The top eight players will be seeded in the tournament.
With two European Tour events still to play before the cutoff, the current provisional qualification is as follows:
All sets are best of 5 Legs.
1–2 October
3–4 October
5 October
