The participants for
Players Championship 3 and 4 have been announced by the PDC. These two tournaments are scheduled for Feb. 19 and 20 in Leicester.
Each Players Championship tournament involves 128 players. Initially, the 128 PDC Tour Card holders will have the opportunity to register. If spots are still available, the highest ranked players on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit will be invited.
A large proportion of Tour Card holders have signed up. Only Adrian Lewis, Benjamin Drue Reus and Michele Turetta are absent, while world champion,
Luke Humphries has decided to play only Players Championship 3. Their spots are taken by Danny Jansen, Stefan Bellmont, Aden Kirk and Darryl Pilgrim. The latter is thus only listed for Players Championship 4.
Top players like
Michael van Gerwen,
Gary Anderson, Nathan Aspinall, Stephen Bunting, Dave Chisnall,
Rob Cross, Luke Littler,
Gerwyn Price,
Michael Smith, Raymond van Barneveld, Dimitri van den Bergh,
James Wade,
Peter Wright and the early
Pro Tour Order of Merit leader,
Ryan Searle also have signed up.
