Hear from the newest PDC Tour Card holder, Jake Jones, who picked up his Tour Card on Day Three of UK Q School. A brilliant achievement for the man from Stoke!
Jones after claiming latest outright Tour Card at UK Q-School: "It's a dream come true"

Jake Jones is the latest outright Tour Card holder at 2021 PDC UK Q-School after seeing off Gordon Mathers in a 6-5 win and he will now step onto the PDC ProTour for the first time.
A former BDO title winner, Development Tour winner and England Youth star, the Stoke-on-Trent scaffolder has achieved his dream by winning through on Tuesday.
"It puts all the practice and all the hard work into perspective really," said Jones. "It's a dream come true, I can't really put it into words.
"All I thought before coming here was to qualify for the last four days and then it just takes one good day. Yesterday was probably a better day than today, I've won four games 6-5 and it's a rollercoaster to be honest.
"It's quite remarkable for myself. When I was younger, a lot of people said it was quite promising how I was playing, and I was England number one for three years when I was 14-17.
"It really is nice to come through, I've put a lot of effort into this tournament. I love my job but I feel like it's time now to play darts like I can, and we'll see in the coming years how we do."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
