PDC Q-School Round-up: Cristo Reyes secures Pro Tour return as Carl Sneyd, Niall Culleton & Jeffrey Sparidaans complete Tour Card winners on dramatic Day Two

Day Two of PDC Q-School 2026 delivered four further Tour Card winners across the UK and European events, completing the line-up of players who will join the Pro Tour alongside the four qualifiers from the opening day. The headline moment came in Europe, where Cristo Reyes sealed his return to the professional circuit after previously losing his Tour Card at the end of the 2021 season.

Reyes negotiated a demanding run through the latter stages of European Q-School, producing a series of controlled performances to reach the play-off round.

His decisive moment came in the final match, where he defeated Matthias Ehlers 6-3 to secure his place back on the PDC Pro Tour. It capped a composed Day Two showing and confirmed Reyes’ return to full-time professional status.

The UK event saw Carl Sneyd become the first Tour Card winner of the day, and the first English qualifier of Q-School 2026. Sneyd advanced through a competitive field before coming through the play-off match with a 6-4 win over Steve Lennon, securing a two-year place on the Pro Tour. His run included key victories in the knockout rounds to earn that opportunity in the final stage.

The second UK Tour Card was claimed by Niall Culleton, who emerged from a dramatic play-off to secure his first-ever place on the Pro Tour. Culleton edged Danny Goddard 6-5 in a last-leg decider, denying his opponent after a day that had already seen Goddard hit a nine-darter earlier in the tournament. The win confirmed Culleton as the fourth and final UK qualifier on Day Two.

The final Tour Card of the day was decided in Europe, where Jeffrey Sparidaans held his nerve in a tense play-off against Michele Turetta. Sparidaans had raced into a 5-1 lead, only for Turetta to mount a late comeback, including a 170 finish to force a deciding leg. The Italian then missed match darts, allowing Sparidaans to regroup and close out a 6-5 victory to secure his return to the Pro Tour.

Those four names join the Tour Card winners from Day One — Rhys Griffin, Adam Leek, Arno Merk and Filip Bereza — completing the list of new additions to the PDC Pro Tour from Q-School 2026. With both UK and European events concluded, attention now turns to how these eight players translate their Q-School success onto the professional circuit over the next two seasons.
