Jeffrey de Graaf narrowly missed out on the title at the start of the season on the PDC Nordic Baltic Tour on Saturday. This circuit is open to darters from Nordic and Baltic countries.
De Graaf, from North Holland, has been living in Sweden with his girlfriend for several years. Only this year he also got Swedish citizenship, allowing him to compete in the Nordic Baltic Tour.
He immediately made it to the final, but lost to Marko Kantele (6-1). The Finn had also beaten Cor Dekker in the semi-finals. Dekker also holds a Dutch passport, but lives in Norway.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
