The entries have been released for the first Players Championship double header set to take place in Hildesheim with many big names missing out.

Michael van Gerwen will once again miss another weekend of ProTour action and he is joined by Gary Anderson, Rob Cross, Daryl Gurney, James Wade and Peter Wright. It will be the first Players Championship double header that both Gurney and Wright have missed in a long time.
Also not involved include the likes of Corey Cadby, who is back in Australia ahead of the World Series; as well as Adrian Lewis who like the aforementioned Gurney and Wright has not missed a ProTour weekend in some time.
Eddie Dootson, Dawson Murschell, John Goldie; as well as Terry Temple, John Michael and Gary Eastwood will also not travel over to Germany.
This means that there will be many of the Challenge Tour's finest involved headed up by Boris Koltsov, Ritchie Edhouse and Cody Harris. Patrik van den Boogaard, Danny van Trijp, Justin Smith and Arjan Konterman will make their Players Championship debuts.
Also involved include other well-known players including Andrew Gilding, Berry van Peer, Scott Taylor, Dave Prins, Callan Rydz and Diogo Portela. This means that it will once again be a fairly open Players Championship weekend with a lot of the top seeds missing.
