DRAW PDC Players Championship 33: Crucial day for Luke Humphries, Peter Wright and more in fight to secure Minehead qualification
PDCWednesday, 29 October 2025 at 13:52
This midweek, the final two Players Championship tournaments of this year are scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 29 and Thursday, Oct. 30. This is the last chance for players to qualify for the Players Championship Finals later this month.
Players such as Luke Littler, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, Josh Rock, Danny Noppert, Jonny Clayton, James Wade and Gary Anderson have decided to miss out on this double header, but fortunately there are still plenty of big names in action.
Humphries still has work to do
One of those names is Luke Humphries, who is all but certain to participate in the final tournament in Minehead later this month. 'Cool Hand Luke' currently occupies 54th place on the Order of Merit, with a lead of just 2,000 pounds over the number 64. Should the current world No. 1 be eliminated in the first or second round both today and tomorrow, he will depend on the results of players below him. So with one good day, he can definitely secure participation in the Players Championship Finals. Humphries thus has everything in his own hands. He starts his first match this afternoon against Adam Warner.
Another established name who has yet to pull out all the stops is Peter Wright. Snakebite' is one spot below Humphries and is in exactly the same boat. Where Humphries is generally expected to make it, it remains to be seen with Wright. The Scot is not in the best period of his career, so two early eliminations are not out of the question. Wright will start today in his first match against Belgian Stefaan Henderyck.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
