Wessel Nijman has won the 19th tournament of the PDC Development Tour at the expense of Gian van Veen after an all Dutch final.
Nijman triumphed 5-3 against Van Veen in the final, having previously defeated Owen Roelofs (4-2), Owen Bates (4-1), Jurjen van der Velde (5-3) and James Beeton (5-3), among others.
This title brings Nijman ever closer to a Tour Card and placement for the World Darts Championship, which requires a top-three finish after all Development Tour tournaments. With five tournaments remaining, he is 3075 pounds ahead of number four Nathan Rafferty.
The PDC Development Tour is considered the training institute of the PDC. Talented players have the opportunity on this circuit to further develop their gift. Players may enter as soon as they reach the age of sixteen. They may then compete up to and including the season in which they turn 24.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
