Kleermaker on Jacklin's resignation as BDO Chairman: "Better late than never"

Martijn Kleermaker claimed a PDC Tour Card at the beginning of 2020 and he reflected on the leadership of the recently departed BDO Chairman, Des Jacklin once more in a recent interview.
Jacklin resigned as BDO Chairman in early March and he believes it was still too late for him to do it.
“That was actually still a year late. Anyway, luckily he did it before the outbreak of the Coronavirus, otherwise he would have blamed it on that," Kleermaker told RTL7.
Several interviews have shown that the 29-year-old Dutchman was not a fan of Jacklin to say the least. “Those interviews, along with criticism from many other players, may have contributed to his resignation. Better late than never."
"I am very pleased that I am now playing in the PDC," he added. "I really feel at home here, I should have discovered this ten years ago."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
