Lok Yin Lee and Sandro Sosing qualify for PDC World Darts Championship
PDC
Lok Yin Lee and Sandro Sosing secured participation in the World Darts Championship through the PDC Asian Championship on Sunday. With that, eight of the nine Asian participants for the World Championship are now known.
Two World Championship spots were up for grabs at the PDC Asian Championship. The tournament was won by Lourence Ilagan, but the dart player from the Philippines had already qualified for Alexandra Palace. That did not apply to losing finalist Sosing, however, who could therefore take home a World Championship spot.
Ilagan's World Championship spot advanced to a semifinalist. Lok Yin Lee and Jenn Ming Tan were the two players who lost in the semifinals. Because Lee was ranked higher on the PDC Asian Tour Order of Merit, the spot went to him.
Xiaochen Zong (winner PDC China Championship), Tomoya Goto (winner PDJ Tour), Alexis Toylo (winner Asian Tour), Paolo Nebrida (number three Asian Tour) and Ryusei Azemoto (number four Asian Tour) are the other confirmed Asian qualifiers for the World Darts Championship. To that will be added the winner of the Indian qualifying tournament on Oct. 28.

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
