In recent years, the South American place at the World Cup of Darts has always been invited to Brazil. However, this year, the PDC has chosen to create a qualifying tournament for countries from Latin America with Guyana being the nation to prevail.
The Guyanese duo easily got through their first four games before in their first real challenge they overcame, with great difficulty, Jason Calderon and Guillermo Soto from Costa Rica, defeating them in a deciding leg.
As it turned out the final would be a much easier affair for Fitzgerald and Madhoo. Picking up a 10-1 win against Andres Montero and Diego Orozco, another duo from Costa Rica, the Guyanese pair secured their spot at the upcoming World Cup of Darts.
Fitzgerald and Madhoo both have some stage experience with the PDC, albeit from a long time ago. Madhoo, 59, competed in the 2004, 2010 and 2011 world championships. Fitzgerald, 36, competed in the 2009 edition.

- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026

- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
