LEDBURY darts star Terry Jenkins is aiming for a share of the £125,000 prize fund when he competes in the Las Vegas Desert Classic VI.
The Bull, seeded fifth, takes on Gary Blades in the first round of the event, which begins at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino today.
The tournament will see more than 200 players challenging, with Phil Taylor looking to claim a fourth title.
Taylor has won the event three times since its inception in 2002, with Peter Manley and current champion John Part the other winners.
The top 12 PDC players and four North Americans are joined in the first round draw by 16 qualifiers.
Part took last year's title with a 6-3 defeat of Raymond van Barneveld, who enters the tournament having picked up a second successive UK Open title at Bolton recently.
Three-time champion Taylor said: "The Desert Classic is a great tournament and Vegas is a great place to be.
"I always have a good time and it's my target to win it."
