This also opens up a third spot in the PDPA Qualifier tomorrow with Girvan the only player who could've took the spot due to Rock qualifying through the ProTour for the PDC World Darts Championship.

- 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
