Part confirms 2020 Q-School intentions: 'As long as I'm able to, I'll go play'
PDC
John Part has spoke in a recent interview with LiveDarts about his current intentions as he continues his usual punditry for Sky Sports at the World Grand Prix.
Part has stated that he will once again attempt Q-School and that as long as he is still able to play he will do so.
He spoke about the improved entries for Q-School and said that it makes it tough but pretty fun and interesting and that as he gets further away from being at the top, it gives him more freedom to love his darts again.
"I don't quit," said Part in an interview at the World Grand Prix with LiveDarts.
"As long as I'm able to, I'll go play. I enjoy it.
"As hard as it was last year with 20 spots for 400 entries in the UK, it's a pretty tall order but it makes it fun and interesting.
"You always get frustrated if you're not doing what you want to do but you try and work to put it right.
"The further I get distance-wise from being at that top level where I was, there's more pressure off my shoulders and I can play with more freedom.
"The top 50 guys in the world all look really good to me, is that because they are all really good or is it because I'm not world number two or three?
"I have to say, yes, the standard has gone up but competitively, head-to-head, the spirit and intensity and really good winner's mentalities, only so many guys can have that.
"Definitely the overall skill level of the game has gone up, you can't skate through too easily, you have to play to a certain standard these days."

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025

- "For the past 20 years, the Grand Prix winner was there every time" Because all former winners were Top 8 players, as simple as that. "Now they say you get into the Premier League based on results. So apparently that's not the case" Results ? You just have ONE result over 2 years. Without these 3 days wonders, you wouldn't be Top 32... "Aspinall and Price. They didn't deserve it" Maybe, but never seems that you do. Other players must be picked before.cycyP309-01-2025
- Premier League is nothing more now than a pantomime where the crowd turn up and boo at the villain and cheer on the hero while getting pissed out their brains. Basically its the WWE of darts.Mysstree09-01-2025
- Is this the start of an attempt to say that he (Littler) is the best ever as he has won most money. Perhaps adjust all prize money earned by allowing for inflation. If Littler gets close too (does not even have to overtake) both MVG’s and Taylor’s Major titles total then he is in the conversation. Indicates to me that the prize money is skewed to much towards the top players, meritocracy must rule but a fair distribution of the money is needed otherwise its only ever about a select few.Mysstree09-01-2025
- £500 for 3 games seems so steep especially for those that lost 5-0 each time. I used to think Conan Whitehead was going to be a great player and was improving through the BDO but has just fizzled outrichieburnettrocks09-01-2025

- It is shocking and unbelievable that 2 Hotty who was always such a decent player, 2 time World Champion and won the Grand Slam when it meant something. He really should have joined the PDC earlier. He has just disappeared off the radar. Such a shame when one of your favourite players just dissappears. I guess he is concentrating on the carpentry. I made a sign at Lakeside which must have been the biggest ever. It said we're potty for 2 Hotty, each word was on its own flip chart sheet of paper and gaffer taped together. Maybe Scotty should return to the WDF or whatever it is now.richieburnettrocks09-01-2025
