The likes of Peter Wright, Michael van Gerwen, defending champion Nathan Aspinall and Fallon Sherrock were due to take on the leading players from North America in the Hulu Theatre at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden from June 5-6.
But with the global restrictions currently in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the decision has been made to move the tournament's first visit to the Big Apple - as well as the North American Championship - back almost exactly 12 months to be staged on June 4-5 2021.
All original tickets will be honored for the corresponding session of the 2021 event, which will begin on Friday with the first round while the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will take place on the Saturday evening. More ticket information is available through Ticketmaster.
The first ever staging of Nordic Darts Masters is another World Series event affected having been originally scheduled for June 12-13 at Forum Copenhagen, but that will now be staged on October 23-24.
It will begin on Friday October 23 with the first round, which sees the eight PDC stars drawn against the eight Nordic & Baltic regional representatives. The tournament then concludes with two sessions on Saturday October 24, with the quarter-finals in the afternoon session followed by the semi-finals and final in the evening session.
The four PDC Tour Card Holders from the Nordic & Baltic region retain their places in the tournament, with Lithuania's Darius Labanauskas - a World Championship quarter-finalist this year - joined by Finland's Marko Kantele, Sweden's Daniel Larsson and Latvia's Madars Razma in competing.
Three Danish representatives will also compete in the tournament, with the final place being awarded to a PDCNB qualifier.
The PDC representatives are also set to include Fallon Sherrock, who created history and worldwide headlines as the first woman to win at the PDC World Championship in December.
Tickets purchased for the original dates of the Nordic Darts Masters will remain valid for the equivalent session of the new dates. Refunds can be applied for through Ticketmaster.
PDC Chief Executive Matthew Porter said: "There was huge excitement about taking the US Darts Masters to Madison Square Garden, not just from the players set to compete in June but also across the wider North American darting community.
"However, with the ongoing worldwide situation we felt that the right decision was to postpone the World Series' visit to New York for 12 months.
"This decision only strengthens our resolve to make the 2021 US Darts Masters and North American Championship a success as part of our global World Series of Darts tour."
