Rodriguez was due to face Raymond van Barneveld this evening but his daughter had an operation on Thursday and following complications has decided to stay with her at hospital instead of travelling. Now the doyen of Dutch Darts receives a bye to face Jose de Sousa tomorrow.
"We had hoped that my daughter's operation on Thursday would be straightforward and that I would be able to compete in Budapest," said Rodriguez.
"Most people will know that she has had heart problems in the past and previously needed operations, and this operation has also been a success but was followed by some minor complications.
"Happily, she is okay now and on the road to recovery."
He added: "It's disappointing that I can't compete in Hungary as I was excited about getting back into action, but my family comes first.
"I wish Raymond and all the other players in Budapest good luck, and I look forward to my return to playing at the Gibraltar Darts Trophy next month."
Price is also out after returning home from the World Series, he has withdrawn late from the tournament with no reason yet known meaning Madars Razma who had already won through to play him will receive a bye through to Sunday's third round.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
