Van Gerwen, Suljovic & Cadby among players missing Players Championship double header next weekend
NewsFriday, 30 March 2018 at 16:15
After this weekend's Euro Tour action, the Players Championship series returns next weekend for a double header of events on Saturday and Sunday with the likes of Michael van Gerwen, Corey Cadby & Mensur Suljovic all skipping the events.
This is alongside usual names including John Norman Jr & Ting Chi Royden Lam who usually skip the events on a regular basis which alongside the big names such as Van Gerwen skipping has allowed 9 players from the Challenge Tour to play.
Ronnie Baxter is not skipping this time out though with 'The Rocket' playing for the first time since February after missing all action since the UK Open Qualifiers. He returns to Players Championship action though.
Diogo Portela, Jarred Cole and Jason Cullen are among the players who have been rewarded for constant good form on the Challenge Tour. Cole in particular despite not winning a Challenge Tour has reached at least the Last 16 in 7/8 of the Challenge Tour events.
Jason Lowe who impressed in the UK Open Qualifiers reaching the latter stages in one will play on the Pro Tour for the first time in nearly 12 years and recent winner John Davey will make his debut.

- 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
- Greaves could win Fallon might win Ashton might get a set Van Leuven could get a set deciders Hayter might get to a doubleBandB10-12-2025
- Congratulations Deta, champion at last. Although I was really hoping Sophie was going to win. Deta had a tough route to the final and a deserved Champion after soooooo many attempts.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Congratulations Zehra, an excellent performance, 3-0 was harsh on Rebecca, she played well and actually won a decent trophy better than what Zehra won. I think it is extremely poor and insulting that the girls prize money is half of what the boys win. At that level it should be equal, girls wanting to take up darts will see the injustice of winnings and could think twice about taking up the sport. Ultimately, winning is the only thing that matters, but I would be vocal about prize money if the female equivalent was double the amount.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Having been at Lakeside all week, I am glad it's over. It is not the same and the atmosphere is completely flat. Ultimately, I think they should reduce the format for the men, just make it 32 not 64. It's very long winded and completely rushed and compacted towards the last few days. Mitchell is an excellent player but had to play a 6 set boys final just hours before his 9 set mens final. If the whole competition was spread out he would have not been forced to play 2 major finals in an afternoon, it is ridiculous and Sophie McKinlay had the same situation last year.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
