Gerwyn Price & James Wade
The entry list for the upcoming Players Championship tournaments in Den Bosch has undergone another major change. After it was previously confirmed that Luke Littler would not be travelling to the Netherlands, Gerwyn Price and James Wade have now also withdrawn from Players Championship 29 and 30. The two floor tournaments will take place at the Maaspoort on 22 and 23 September.

Littler, Price and Wade were all originally included on the entry list. That appeared to set up a strong Pro Tour double-header for Dutch darts fans, but all three of the world’s leading players have now pulled out.
Littler’s withdrawal did not come as a complete surprise. ‘The Nuke’ skipped the first 26 Players Championship events of the season and only made his first appearance on the floor in September. Across his first two appearances, he collected £10,500 in prize money.
Littler needs that prize money to break into the top 64 on the Players Championship Order of Merit. Only those players qualify for the Players Championship Finals.
However, the 19-year-old Englishman had previously indicated that his participation in Den Bosch would depend on his performance at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam. Littler would only travel to the Maaspoort if he won the televised tournament. He failed to do so and will therefore skip Players Championship 29 and 30.

Price, Humphries, Anderson and Wade also absent in Den Bosch

Two more big names have now disappeared from the original entry list. Price and Wade have also decided not to compete in the two Players Championship tournaments in Den Bosch.
That means the field has lost three high-profile names in a short space of time. Price and Wade were initially on the entry list alongside the likes of Nathan Aspinall, Rob Cross, Josh Rock and Stephen Bunting. The latter four are, for now, still expected to compete at the Maaspoort.
