'Legends Week' announced for MODUS Super Series including Steve Beaton and Vincent van der Voort fresh from the PDC Pro Tour
MODUS
Next week, the MODUS Super Series also gets underway for another year's schedule. That kicks off with a so-called "Legends Week" that includes Vincent van der Voort and Steve Beaton in action, fresh from their departure off the PDC Pro Tour.
On the MODUS Super Series, only players who do not have a PDC Tour Card may compete. In the 'Legends Week' no less than twelve big names from the world of darts will compete. This includes Vincent van der Voort, who recently lost his Tour Card and has announced that he will not attempt to regain it for the time being. Van der Voort is playing this tournament as preparation for the World Seniors Darts Championship next month.
Besides Van der Voort, perhaps the most notable name is that of Steve Beaton. The 60-year-old Englishman just announced his retirement from the PDC, but is now focusing primarily on this tournament and then the World Seniors Darts Tour (WSDT) tournaments.
Completing the field of participants in Portsmouth are other big names such as Martin Adams, Robert Thornton, Kevin Painter, Darryl Fitton, Wes Newton, Richie Burnett, Chris Mason, Trina Gulliver, Neil Duff and Richie Howson.
Games will be played Monday through Friday. Six players eventually qualify for the final session on Saturday.

- It's not tennis, snooker or golf, nobody mentioned Fallon,great as she is. Beau beats her week in,week out. But she isn't interested. If you want to include crowd pleasers,get Les Wallace back!!! He was a world champion,and wore a kilt!!!rick6707-01-2025
- I'm glad wright and van Ben bergh were overlooked. Too much dancing,not enough darting. Bunting is always quality,as for price,he's a crowd pleaser(!!?) too. Aspinall has had his problems,but it's nice to see him back,he's a decent chap. Dobey is a top player,big hitter,so I won't complain. Cross will finish bottom,much as I like him,he seems to be off lately. I'm glad they didn't pick a Belgian just for the audience. But I don't agree with the tournament or format,so I guess it's immaterial to me. They might as well turn up at a random pub and play for the beers!!!rick6707-01-2025
- I think the PDC's choice is too conservative. EIther or both of Damon Heta and Mike de Dekker should have been in, at the expense of Aspinall and possibly Price. I guess the PDC's reasoning is that they do not want too much turnover from year to year, and so having already rejected Smith and Wright, they have kept Price and Aspinall, but I guess those two are "on probation".
UndartedWaters06-01-2025 - Two from the three of Price, Aspinall and Dobey should have been excluded, De Decker and Edhouse should have been in. I would have offered a place to Beau Greaves though i doubt she would have accepted it and probably not really ready for it confidence wise.Mysstree06-01-2025
- Tennis has a protected ranking system for injuries and Golf has a system that as a Major winner you get invited back of a number of years regardless of your ranking. Barry Hearn gave Stephen Hendry a wildcard for some tournaments though he still had to enter at the qualification stage. Doubt the PDC would give Burnett an exemption as he has never won a PDC Major, same would apply to Steve Beaton. It’s a slippery slope to abandoning a meritocratic system, if the PDC did do so they could then (for example) award a place to Fallon Sherrock even though she has yet to qualify at any level for a tour card.Mysstree06-01-2025
- I'd have said the same about Ady Lewis,but the PDC is indeed a law unto itself,so sorry bud,get your leg kicking and do it for the good lads!!rick6705-01-2025
- COME ON RICHIE BURNETT Surely a World Champion and player with the calibra of Richie should be exempt from ever losing a tour card and having to qualify.richieburnettrocks04-01-2025
- That's true, Richie. Taylor used to call it, "Manley's millions."MrYnyslas197103-01-2025
- The semi finals are so one sided nowadays. Bunting and Dobey had their final in the quarters and simply had no interest once they got behind and gave up., yet both will be whining for premier league places. Earning enough to keep the rankings is more important to most players. Peter Manley got to a final with Phil Taylor but was more happy that he had earned enough to pay off his mortgage and promptly and expectedly whitewashed by Philrichieburnettrocks03-01-2025
