GLORY FOR GAWLAS! 🇨🇿 Adam Gawlas edges out Dylan Slevin in a last-leg shoot-out to win Winmau Development Tour 15 in Hildesheim! 🏆 It's a maiden PDC title for the Czech star, who will feature at next week's World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt!
Ahead of competing in the World Cup of Darts next week, there was a welcome boost for Adam Gawlas.
The Czech ace saw off fellow Tour Card holder, Dylan Slevin 5-4 in the final of PDC Development Tour 15. It is a first title for Gawlas on the PDC Tour.
En route, he saw off Jurjen van der Velde, David Schlichting, Jacob Gwynne and Jack Male among others in the latter stages. He joins Gian van Veen, Bradley Brooks, Wessel Nijman and Jarred Cole in sealing titles this weekend.
Van Veen in particular leads the race to the World Championship with Luke Littler staying narrowly behind ahead of Wessel Nijman with that duo set to do battle for the Tour Cards and second World Championship spot.
The PDC Development Tour is considered the breeding ground of the PDC. Talented players have the opportunity to further develop their gift on this circuit. Players may enter as soon as they reach the age of 16. They may then compete up to and including the season in which they turn 24.

- 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
