Jamai van den Herik strikes for second time on PDC Development Tour
PDCSunday, 12 October 2025 at 16:30
Jamai van den Herik won a tournament on the PDC Development Tour on Sunday for the second time this season. The Dutchman took the title at Event 23, and may even dream of World Cup participation with one tournament to go.
Van den Herik had to play as many as nine games en route to the title. He successively defeated Tom Garfield (4-0), Luis Kirschenlohr (4-2), Patrik Williams (4-3), Mitchell Leeming (4-3), Jeffrey Keen (4-2), Mark Tabak (4-0), Nunjo Dewaele (5-3), Rohan Brouwers (5-2) and Cayden Smith (5-4).
The Development Tour is the youth circuit of the PDC. This tour is open to players ages 16 through 23. Players who turn 24 during the season may continue to compete.
At each Development Tour tournament there is a prize pool of 15,000 pounds to be divided. With the prize money, a ranking is established. At the end of the season, the numbers one, two and three receive an invitation to the World Darts Championship, while the numbers one and two also receive a Tour Card for 2026 and 2027. The ranking winner also gets to compete in the Grand Slam of Darts.
Numbers one and three, Cam Crabtree and Owen Bates have virtually qualified for the PDC World Darts Championship via the Pro Tour, meaning that with the current state of play, the World Cup spots will be given to numbers two, four and five. Those spots are now held by Beau Greaves, Charlie Manby and Jamai van den Herik. Number six Jurjen van der Velde is the first pursuer. He is 500 pounds behind Van den Herik and 525 pounds behind Manby, and thus needs to make up that deficit at the final tournament to qualify for the World Championship.
The final Development Tour tournament of the season will be played later Sunday. Cam Crabtree has already secured first place and thus may compete in the Grand Slam of Darts.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
