Greaves, Jansen and Rupprecht decline invite for PDC World Youth Championship
PDCThursday, 17 August 2023 at 14:30
On Wednesday, the PDC announced the invitations to the PDC Youth World Championship and it became clear which youth players qualified through the international qualifiers. The wildcards were for the 11 players up to age 24 who hold a PDC Tour Card.
These names include defending champion Josh Rock, Gian van Veen, Owen Roelofs and Jurjen van der Velde. Danny Jansen and Pascal Rupprecht were also eligible for an automatic spot at the PDC World Youth Championship, but the PDC reports that the Dutchman and German will not take advantage of this invitation.
It is not known why Rupprecht is not competing in the junior world championship. Jansen's reason is a little easier to understand. 'The Mullet' became a father for the first time last week and it is plausible that Jansen would rather stay with his girlfriend and newborn son.
Beau Greaves also could have been in action at the Youth World Championships. But just like last year, she turned down this invitation. The PDC also invited the two highest-ranked players up to age 24 on the PDC Women's Series Order of Merit. Those were Greaves and Aoife McCormack. Katie Sheldon will now take Greaves' spot. The 19-year-old Englishwoman prefers to play the WDF Swedish Open in Malmo.

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
