The first round has began at Players Championship 25 with most seeds heading through but some big names also heading out.
Peter Wright, Gerwyn Price, Joe Cullen, Michael Smith, Jonny Clayton and Dirk van Duijvenbode are all through. Wright edged past Adam Gawlas in a 6-5 win, while Price whitewashed a struggling Glen Durrant.
Luke Humphries is top seed and edged past Devon Petersen 6-4, while top average so far goes to Dave Chisnall with 102.72 in a 6-2 win over Simon Whitlock.
In terms of big names heading out though, only three seeds have fell with Dimitri van den Bergh (6-3 loss to Alan Soutar), Rob Cross (6-4 defeat to Mike de Decker) and Ryan Searle (6-5 against Mario Vandenbogaerde) falling by the wayside as the Last 128 continues.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
