The 2022 PalmerBet Queensland Darts Masters was the first staging of the tournament by the Professional Darts Corporation, and the fourth entry in the 2022 World Series of Darts. The tournament featured 16 players (eight 'elite' PDC players and eight regional qualifiers) and was held at the Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre in Townsville, Australia on 12–13 August 2022.
Just before the tournament, it was announced that the winner and runner-up of this event (and the following New South Wales Darts Masters) would receive boomerang-style trophies in honour of Kyle Anderson, who died in 2021, with the best Oceanic player across the 3 Oceanic World Series events (Queensland, New South Wales and New Zealand) receiving the Kyle Anderson Memorial Trophy.[1] Gordon Mathers would win this trophy, owing to his run to the semi-finals in this tournament.[2]
Michael van Gerwen won his 17th World Series title after defeating Gerwyn Price 8–5 in the final.[3]
