PDCThursday, 04 May 2023 at 13:06
The draw and schedule has been confirmed for the seventh European Tour in the form of the Belgian Darts Open which will take place between May 5-7.
Dave Chisnall is the defending champion aiming to retain his crown at the Oktoberhallen. He has also already won two titles this year on the European Tour including the Dutch Darts Championship last week.
Also headlining are top seed Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, and Michael Smith, with home hopes coming from Friday with Dimitri van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts among those involved.
Van den Bergh will face Ian White, while for Huybrechts, it is Ricky Evans. Gary Anderson will also continue his comeback to the European Tour.
He will pit his wits against Krzysztof Ratajski who he defeated in his recent ProTour win. A tussle with practice partner, Ryan Searle could await. James Wade will also again face Raymond van Barneveld in another high profile Friday meeting.

- Yep... that is correct... that XY male will be at home with the other men.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- True, Richie. Broke my heart when Mr Senna lost his life,,, the man cared about others too. Senna had an Austrian flag in his car and was going to do a lap of honour in memory of Roland Ratzenberger, who tragically lost his life on the same weekend, sadly, Senna never got the chance. Mr Senna would have surpassed Schumacher—no doubt.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
