This meant that play had to resume behind closed doors with the hope that the tier would potentially be changed after the Christmas break.
But with Tier 4 restrictions now in place meaning a Stay at Home order due to a new variant of COVID-19, the remainder of the tournament will be staged behind closed doors.
For those who have purchased tickets for the remaining sessions, a full refund will be received on SeeTickets, the PDC's ticketing partner.
