Provisional field for 2022/23 PDC World Darts Championship with two Players Championship events to go

The road to the 2022/23 PDC World Darts Championship is set to reach its conclusion in the coming weeks with the end of the ProTour season and following that the Players Championship Finals at the end of November.

Gerwyn Price currently leads the way ahead of defending champion, Peter Wright and Michael van Gerwen who will look to stop his rot at the Alexandra Palace after a superb major run this year collecting all but the final piece in the so called triple crown.

Also in the top ten are Michael Smith, Rob Cross, Luke Humphries, Jonny Clayton and Gary Anderson with Martin Schindler and Adrian Lewis currently the final players inside the top 32. Madars Razma and Simon Whitlock are the closest to the threshold.

But Razma come what may will qualify inside the top five with Josh Rock, Andrew Gilding and Martin Lukeman leading the way, while Raymond van Barneveld, Steve Beaton and Cameron Menzies are also inside that top 32.

International Qualifiers include Lisa Ashton, Beau Greaves, Leonard Gates, Darius Labanauskas, Danny Baggish, Robert Owen, Danny van Trijp, Diogo Portela and a few still to be confirmed.
