BDO or PDC, where will Glen Durrant be in 2019?

The two-time Lakeside champion has repeatedly contradicted himself over his future. After revealing plans to attend Q-School and try for a PDC Tour Card, Durrant changed his mind following his BDO World Championship win. Now, in a Live Darts interview, it appears that the Q-School dream is back on.
"I wish the BDO all the best moving forward, it's fulfilled all my dreams," said Durrant.
"Playing at Lakeside in a final is something really special and I don't think much would ever top that."
The BDO have made positive steps in recent days. The deal to show the BDO World Championship on Eurosport and Quest has ensured a future for their biggest event. And confirmation that the Lakeside will once again host the championships is a relief for Des Jacklin and his board. But the BDO may now be looking at a future without Durrant, arguably the best player on their roster, who once pledged to end his career in the code.
"I owe the BDO a lot and I just want them to succeed."
"I'm still looking for challenges, I made the statement 'BDO for life' because the questions were just relentless," Durrant admitted.
"Who knows what the future is? But the PDC and Q School is a definite option.
"I wish it wasn't at times but I'm playing really good darts and the final challenge I guess would be the PDC."

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
