Gary Anderson and
Adrian Lewis have withdrawn from the 21st
Players Championship tournament of the season, which will be played on Monday.
Lewis won Players Championship 20 in Barnsley on Sunday. John Brown is also absent, but he had already announced he would only play from Friday to Sunday. Peter Jacques and Scott Marsh are called up as substitutes. A third substitute is missing, so the number one of the rankings at Players Championship 21 has a bye in Luke Humphries.
