Former Premier League Stars Wes Newton & Andy Hamilton set to lose Tour Cards
NewsWednesday, 29 November 2017 at 15:00
As the end of the year edges closer as does Q-School and it seems like Wes Newton and Andy Hamilton will have to head to Q-School to keep their tour cards next year. This is a dramatic demise for two of the best known players of the modern era, 'Warrior' was a Premier League player only 3 years ago and 'The Hammer' was a world finalist in 2012 and a Premier League player the year later in 2013.
Their fate was sealed due to the World Championship Qualifier in Milton Keynes on Monday with both men having to win a bit like Ted Evetts to keep any hope of keeping their cards alive. Of the two, it seems like Hamilton will be the most likely to win through the unforgiving format that is PDC Qualifying School. Hamilton has had a poor year but has qualified for 3 Euro Tour events.
So we won't be seeing either player at the World Championship and potentially not the tour next year if they don't get through Q-School.

- 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
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
