Ted Hankey has withdrawn from the 2022 World Seniors Darts Championship which is due to take place at the legendary Circus Tavern between February 3-6 2022.
Hankey was due to be one of the star names involved in the tournament but informed the tournament organisers of his decision to withdraw.
A former two time World Champion winning it in 2000 and 2009, he joined the star studded line-up which also includes Phil Taylor, John Lowe, Bob Anderson, John Part, Martin Adams with 11 World Champions from both PDC and BDO codes alongside a further 11 invited players.
Hankey's replacement will be announced in due course.
