"I've seen therapists. Hopefully now I can start winning titles again!" - Peter Wright getting back to his best after seeking help

Peter Wright has easily qualified for the last sixteen of the 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy in Budapest. Snakebite beat Damon Heta 6-0 in the second round and as a result, now faces Ryan Searle.

Wright did not even have to bring out his best to send an notably below par Heta home without a chance. "Normally with Damon, his lowest is around 95. That's how good he is, so I got away with it," Wright assesses afterwards. "I just had to play the board, not start playing Damon. But yeah, it was great to hear the crowd singing tonight! "

Wright had a particularly difficult start to the 2024 season, finishing rock bottom of the Premier League Darts table. Recently though, the Scot has shown signs of getting better, even winning the German Darts Championship. "I've obviously had to have a look at my mentality and stuff. I've seen therapists," he admits. "Hopefully now I can start winning titles again!"

The Hungarian Darts Trophy will be broadcast on PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Hungarian Darts Trophy consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 12:00, while the evening sessions start at 18:00.

The first round will take place on Friday. The 16 Order of Merit qualifiers and the winners from the various qualifying tournaments then make their appearance. The top-16 seeded players enter the tournament on Saturday in the second round. Sunday will see the denouement of the tournament, starting with the third round in the afternoon session. Sunday evening will be followed by the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.
