For the first time, Sky Sports was given the television coverage of the Grand Slam after taking over from ITV Sport as the event's broadcaster.
Scott Waites was the defending champion, but he was eliminated in the group stages. The title was won for the fourth time by Phil Taylor, who defeated Gary Anderson 16–4 in the final.
Qualifying
There were numerous tournaments that provided qualifying opportunities to players. Most tournaments offered a qualifying position for the winner and runner-up of the tournament, however the World Championships and the Grand Slams offered a place in the tournament to all semi-finalists. There were also various other ways of qualifying for overseas players, including those from Europe and the United States, as well as a wildcard qualifying event open to any darts player. The qualifying criteria were changed this year, extending the dates back 5 years for respective World Champions to receive an invite.Draw and results
