Corey Cadby has had to withdraw from this weekend’s Auckland Darts Masters due to ongoing visa issues which have plagued the King’s debut season as a PDC tour card holder.
Cadby who hasn’t been seen in a PDC event since reaching the UK Open final on debut in the tournament has yet to receive his visa to come over to the UK; as well as seemingly having issues getting into New Zealand.
Since he’s been away, he has been collecting up the DPA events; as well as hitting a nine darter in an event win but this will be a huge source of frustration to Cadby and his team.
’The King’ is replaced by Ben Robb who is the third-placed player on the DartPlayers New Zealand rankings.
Robb will make his TV debut and has had a good season losing in finals to Warren Parry, Haupai Puha and Mark McGrath with the trio competing in Auckland themselves.
These issues will probably not be the case in Melbourne or Brisbane with the former World Youth Champion of course residing in Australia.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
