Defending champion Wright withdraws from Players Championship Finals as his wife receives treatment following surgery

Peter Wright after his exit from the Grand Slam of Darts last night at the hands of Nathan Aspinall will not play again until the defence of his PDC World Darts Championship after withdrawing from the Players Championship Finals.
Taking place next week in Minehead between Friday November 25 - Sunday November 27, Wright is the defending champion after winning a year ago against Ryan Searle.
But due to his wife Jo being in hospital after a gallbladder operation which Wright himself underwent earlier this year, he has decided to withdraw.
Under PDC rules, Wright is replaced directly in the draw by the next-ranked player from the 2022 Players Championship Order of Merit, this has given a chance to Gian van Veen, a recent first time finalist on the tour.

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
