Entries confirmed for Players Championship 1-2: Price, Van Gerwen and Wright among leading names, Aspinall and Noppert absent

Saturday, 29 January 2022 at 14:00

The entries have been confirmed ahead of the opening foray of ProTour action for the 2022 PDC season which is set to take the form of a double of Players Championship events next weekend in Barnsley.

With it being the opening events of the season, nearly all players are involved and will at this current time play next weekend.

Only four names have pulled out with Nathan Aspinall and Danny Noppert leading that list. The former is currently suffering with injury which forced him to pull out of the Masters.

His aim was to be ready for the first lot of ProTour tournaments but that is not the case. While Noppert is set to become a father so is taking some time away ahead of that.
