Entries confirmed for Players Championship 17-18: Price, Aspinall, Wright and Cross headline as Van Gerwen, Michael Smith and Clayton absent
PDCTuesday, 22 August 2023 at 13:59
The entries have been confirmed for Players Championship 17-18 which will take place at Halle 39 in Hildesheim in the first ProTour action for some time. Albeit as ever with Germany, a heavy contingent of stars missing.
Among those headlining include Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright, Rob Cross and Nathan Aspinall who will all head to Germany. But 13 players in all will skip.
As well as the usual suspects such as Corey Cadby and Christian Perez. The likes of Gary Anderson, Jonny Clayton, Luke Humphries, Danny Noppert and leading duo Michael van Gerwen and Michael Smith will not make the trip.
Albeit on one of the final weekends before Christmas without darts which is the likely thought process ahead of a busy Autumn. This means that Jelle Klaasen, Thibault Tricole, Owen Bates among others will make the trip to Germany to replace them.
The two £100,000 tournaments will commence at 13:00 local time both days and form a busy weekend of action in Germany.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
