However, teen superstar Luke Littler will skip the event.
He said: “I’d love to win over here and get another title. Tick one off for August if not there’s plenty of chances.
“I saw that stat going into the ProTour last month and I checked it was the last day so win this one and then I can go home.
“I did win it and I am aware that I’ve picked up a title every month.
“I’d like to pick up another major this year, no matter what it is.”
