Entries confirmed for Players Championship 25-28: Van Gerwen among eight Tour Card holders missing, Wright, Price and Smith set to headline

Entries have been confirmed ahead of Players Championship 25-28 which sees the return of ProTour action to the busy end of year schedule with most of the top names involved in Barnsley.

Taking place between October 20-23, Peter Wright, Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith, Luke Humphries and Jonny Clayton are among the leading names in action.

Michael van Gerwen is among eight Tour Card holders not present with Vladimir Andersen, John Brown, Krzysztof Kciuk, Boris Koltsov, Zoran Lerchbacher, Gordon Mathers and Michael Unterbuchner also withdrawing.

This means the likes of Scott Williams, Danny van Trijp, Jurjen van der Velde and Karel Sedlacek from the Challenge Tour will be involved. Robert Owen won't be due to playing in Champions Week of MODUS Super Series.
