PDC World Matchplay provisional qualifiers - Glen Durrant in the frame after first four events
NewsWednesday, 20 February 2019 at 17:00
It's a little too soon to be saying who will be at the 2019 PDC World Matchplay. But four events into the 2019 season, Glen Durrant is already in the mix.
The BDO world champion has hit the ground running in the PDC. Victory over Dimitri van den Bergh on Sunday for Durrant. That give the Teessider a £10,000 boost which, along with his other earnings, puts his Pro Tour total at £16,000. According to Burton DeWitt, Duzza now sits 14th in the Pro Tour Order of Merit. With the top 16 earning a spot at the World Matchplay, Durrant is provisionally on his way to Blackpool. There isn't too much movement elsewhere with the new season in its infancy. Michael van Gerwen, winner of two Players Championship events, extends his lead at the top. Dave Chisnall also adds £10,000 to his tally for a Players Championship 2 success. It lifts Chizzy up to 11th in the Order of Merit based on earnings applicable in the race to Blackpool. Despite his injury, defending World Matchplay champion Gary Anderson is all but assured of a spot at the 2019 event if he regains fitness. With the cut-off set to be at the end of June, there's an awful lot left to be decided.

- Difficult one. Obviously has some struggles but you can't allow that behaviour. The damage to his hand from punching and blocking the pyrotechnics will keep him out for months anyway, but ban to the matchplay and fine whatever his prize money was for this event, with a heavy suspended ban on top.BandB17-12-2025
- 1 year ban and £15,000 fine.medinabello16-12-2025
- can you not at least attempt to proof read these recaps? the whitlock scutt one in particular is both inaccurate and mindbogglingly unreadablecolt16-12-2025
- Look, everyone knows he likes to wind up his opponents. Today,his worst,and always will be,best opponent,is himself. I don't dislike the bloke,but he can only blame himself.rick6715-12-2025

- DRA - just a warning please. Obviously not deliberate, in good spirits a s immediate apology. (P.s. Good on you Joe! Tough season, hope you keep that standard into the next round and beyond)BandB14-12-2025
- This bozo says he can't take darts any further and he's left it in a good place.....no-one cares about this nobody. The PDC was always in a good place before he came along. Does this buffon think the crowd are there for him.richieburnettrocks14-12-2025
- Yes, a warning indeed. He is coming to the buffet table, out of his way. This class A goof continues to blither about how he is playing the best darts of his life and even had the laughable audacity to say he was in the best shape of his life. He had a lucky run at Blackpool and even luckier at the World Championship and is still living off that. His form the past year especially the last 6 months completely sucks. 6 micky mouse titles mean nothing.richieburnettrocks13-12-2025
- I'm a big Huybretchs fan from when he broke through at the euros in the early days, but his action has gone. So jerky and inconsistent. Looking at where he'll be in the rankings, hopefully he can treat the new year as a new start, relax, enjoy it and push on without the pressure of defending lots of ££BandB12-12-2025
