Players Championship 18-19 participants announced as Michael van Gerwen officially makes his return after surgery
PDC
Michael van Gerwen will definitely make his return to the PDC circuit next week. 'Mighty Mike' has registered for Players Championship 18 and 19 and will travel to Milton Keynes to make his comeback.
Van Gerwen went under the knife in July, a day after he lost out in the 2024 World Matchplay final against Luke Humphries to undergo dental surgery for the second consecutive year. As a result, he missed a trio of Players Championship tournaments and the two World Series tournaments in Australia and New Zealand.
Van Gerwen is one of many big names to have registered for the latest block of Pro Tour action. Also involved will be the likes of Stephen Bunting, Dave Chisnall, Jonny Clayton, Joe Cullen, Chris Dobey, Damon Heta, Danny Noppert, Gerwyn Price, Josh Rock, Ryan Searle, Ross Smith, Raymond van Barneveld, Dimitri van den Bergh, James Wade and Peter Wright among others.
A total of 125,000 pounds in prize money is distributed at each Players Championship tournament. The winner of the event will receive a check for 15,000 pounds.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
