The four PDC Nordic and Baltic ProTour events which were set to take place in October during a bumper end to the season in Riga have been cancelled.

It has been announced on Thursday morning with COVID-19 being revealed as the reason for the cancellation. They hope to conclude the season in some way so their qualifiers can be confirmed for the PDC World Championship.

Their statement on the website said the following regarding the cancellation: "We have seen more restrictions as the COVID-19 pandemic has grown once again. The new restrictions demands that the organizers of international events are members of the national sports federation.

At the same time it is demanded, that all players have to be isolated at the venue from the beginning of the event until the end of it. As our hosts in Riga can’t take that responsibility. Also as PDCNB is not a member of any countries official sports federation; the events in Riga are cancelled for now.

We are still trying to find out, if it is possible to held some tournaments before the World Darts Championship."
