UK champion Neil Robertson will return to action when he defends his World Grand Prix title between Monday 14 December and Sunday 20 December behind closed doors at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.
The top 32 in the sport's one-year ranking list after the Scottish Open qualify for the event which carries a winner's prize of £100,000.
Number one seed Judd Trump will face Michael Holt (32) in his opening match while second seed Robertson faces Robert Milkins (31).
Robertson withdrew from the Scottish Open after a late-night 10-9 win over world number one Trump in the UK final last Sunday, but will hope to be suitably refreshed after winning last season's Grand Prix in February with a 10-8 win over 2006 world champion Graeme Dott, who failed to qualify after a 4-0 loss to Milkins in the first round of the Scottish Open.
After losing in the final of the Scottish Open to Mark Selby on Sunday night, Ronnie O'Sullivan is back in action against Ali Carter on Tuesday night.

What is the format?

The first and second rounds are the best of seven frames with the quarter-finals moving to the best of nine, the semi-finals over the best of 11 and the final the best-of-19 frames.
