Connor Scutt recently claimed a Tour Card at Q-School and as part of a PDC Introducing feature, he summed up the emotions of joining the darting elite.
"I started crying I couldn't help it, I started laughing and crying, it was happy tears. It was really good. It's been a long time coming, last year at Q-School it was a month or so after I lost my granddad which was quite hard," said Scutt to the PDC.
"So Q-School last year was very hard for me so I didn't do myself justice at all. This year everything sort of clicked at the right time, it was a lot better."
Road to Tour Card
He discussed his road to a Tour Card and how he went from a 15-year-old taking heavy defeats to joining the PDC.
"I started when I was 15. My brother used to play pub darts with his mates. He had a dart board in his bedroom, little brother wants to copy what big brother does. Then he went to France to work on a fishery out there and whilst he was away, I kept practicing."
"I played IDL and won 8-0 with an 88 average which for someone that age is pretty good and I thought I'm not too bad at this. So I started going to local opens and I used to get absolutely smashed."
"I went to a pub league, I was one of the better players there, went to Super League. I went to the Development Tour and I started getting good there, people started to recognise me. Challenge Tour, Q-School and it was amazing, it was some of the best stuff I played in my career."
"Winning the Tour Card is the easy bit but the hard work starts now."

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
