Vincent van der Voort withdraws from Legends Week of the MODUS Super Series due to health problems
MODUS
This week of the MODUS Super Series is dedicated to Legends Week. Famous and big names such as Steve Beaton, Richie Burnett, Robert Thornton and Martin Adams are among the participants. Initially, Vincent van der Voort was also supposed to participate. However, the Dutchman has now been forced to withdraw due to health problems.
'The Dutch Destroyer' informed Sportnieuws.nl that he is struggling with gout. Gout is a form of inflammatory rheumatism that causes a lot of pain in the joints. As a result, the joints become thick, red and hot. This has led Van der Voort to decide not to participate in the Legends Week of the Modus Super Series. Instead, the 49-year-old will take his rest.

This does mean missing out on some prize money with no daily fee but there is an overall prize. Through bonuses, this can go up to £25,000 for the winner of the season.
In February, however, Van der Voort is still expected to attend the World Senior Darts Championship as usual. The Dutchman will take on former WDF world champion Neill Duff in the first round there. The Dutchman will hope that the pain will have subsided by then and that he will be able to compete there in top form.

- It has been fantastic watching Richie Burnett this week in the Modus Super Series and a fabulous interview with Paul Nicholson on YouTube. 30 years since his World Championship and a repeat of the 96 final with Steve Beaton. Magic boom boom boom boom boom boomrichieburnettrocks16-01-2025

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025
- Now this is a heart-warming story. A top-32 pro-player giving up his time to help out in a humble role at Q school. Well done Ricardo.UndartedWaters12-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
