Aspinall and Van Duijvenbode among six late withdrawals from latest Players Championship double header in Hildesheim

Nathan Aspinall and Dirk van Duijvenbode coming into this weekend were two of the big names left in the field after the likes of Michael van Gerwen and Michael Smith skipped the latest Players Championship double header. But not anymore.
Both have since dropped out late on before play gets underway on Saturday afternoon. But not only have Aspinall who hasn't played many ProTours this season and Van Duijvenbode decided against it, but the same can be said for four more players.

Jim Williams who has come under some criticism for skipping tournaments amid potential qualification for major tournaments won't be involved. Neither will Lewy Williams, James Wilson or Nick Fullwell.
These late withdrawals though mean that top seed, Dave Chisnall has already received a bye through to the second round. While Jarred Cole, Vitezslav Sedlak, Arjan Konterman, Lukas Wenig and Martijn Dragt all come in to claim spots from the Challenge Tour.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
