64-year-old driver of Rob Cross among others goes hunting for PDC Tour Card himself
PDCSaturday, 13 January 2024 at 10:00
In Milton Keynes, the final phase of the UK Q-School will continue until Sunday. One of the players hunting for a PDC Tour Card there is Jim Walker.
Walker is not just anyone; the 64-year-old darter recently became the personal driver of Rob Cross, John O'Shea, Scott Williams and Josh Rock. "I’m feeling fantastic. I don’t know how it’s happened because I’ve just started a new job with Rab.," Walker said.
The Englishman wants to capture a Tour Card himself this week, in order to compete against these players for the next two years. "I wasn’t expecting this opportunity. It was Rab who said go along and give it a go and I’m here. I would like to think I’d be beating them. But they are class. I’ll just do my bit, I’m here for myself. I’ll do everything I can."
Walker is no stranger to darts, in the past he has captured a Tour Card several times. “I’m one of these players that always thinks if I lose I go out, if I win I keep going. I’m an optimist. I love it. Listen it’s the sport you love, if you are good enough you get paid to do something you love. The prizes for the top boys are unbelievable."
“You cannot work 40 hours a week and earn what they can earn. Just amazing. I just sat with three young lads and realised that I’m older than the three of them put together! Look at it, 128 players vying for a few spots, can’t beat it can you?”
Whether Walker succeeds is pretty doubtful, after all, after two days he still counts zero points in the Q-School Order of Merit.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
