Veenstra becomes new BDO World Number One after Isle of Man Festival of Darts
NewsMonday, 11 March 2019 at 11:32
The BDO rankings have been updated after this past weekend’s Isle of Man Festival of Darts with Richard Veenstra now the World Number One.
Veenstra has taken over the top spot from fellow compatriot Wesley Harms. Since players have left to join the PDC, both have enjoyed a rich vein of form. This has included a title a piece at this past weekend’s proceedings at the Isle of Man.
As a result of this change in ranking, Michael Unterbuchner has moved down to fifth with Jim Williams moving down another place to third.
Despite it only being the start of the year, Harms and Veenstra seem to be standing out so it will now be up to the chasing pack to stop them.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
