Record number of Dutch players captured Tour Cards at Q-School this year
PDCFriday, 20 January 2023 at 13:30
Last week, no fewer than seven Dutchmen managed to secure a Tour Card for the next two years at Q-School.
Jeffrey Sparidaans and Jeffrey de Zwaan each won a day final. In addition, Maik Kuivenhoven, Richard Veenstra, Niels Zonneveld, Gian van Veen and Owen Roelofs secured a Tour Card through the European Q-School rankings.
Record
Never before have so many Dutch players managed to capture a Tour Card at Q-School. The previous record stood at five, which was in 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019 and last year. Interestingly, half of the available Tour Cards at the European Q-School went to Dutchmen.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
