The battle for the youth world title erupts Monday. A field of 128 players will kick off the PDC World Youth Championship 2024. Participants include some familiar names and the draw has now been revealed.
All players are divided into 32 groups of four players each. After the pool phase, the 32 group winners advance to the knockout phase. The tournament will then continue until the two finalists are known. The final of the PDC World Youth Championship is traditionally on final night of the Players Championship Finals in Minehead. This is on Sunday, Nov. 24.
Favorites for the youth world title include Gian van Veen and Wessel Nijman. Van Veen, meanwhile, is ranked No. 31 on the regular PDC Order of Merit, while Nijman won the annual ranking on the PDC Development Tour by force. The two Dutchmen will face competition from the likes of Marvin van Velzen, Moreno Blom, Nathan Rafferty, Owen Bates, Bradley Brooks, Sebastian Bialecki, Dylan Slevin, Keane Barry, Niko Springer, Owen Roelofs, Danny Jansen, Adam Gawlas and Jurjen van der Velde.
The winners of the past two Youth World Championships are missing from this edition. Josh Rock (winner 2022) and Luke Littler (2023) have both withdrawn. Also, Beau Greaves is not competing in the PDC World Youth Championship either. The 20-year-old Englishwoman finished in the top ten on the Development Tour Order of Merit.

- A tremendous final and a deserving winner in The Real Deal Mike de Decker. And Luke Humphies, despite disappointment, put up a feisty resistance and showed his class in defeat. Darts is in a great place!
UndartedWaters14-10-2024 - Great result for Paul, I really miss watching the Modus Super Series As the coverage on channel 427 when on SKY TV was excellent. Does anyone know where it can be watched now.richieburnettrocks13-10-2024
- Yep, Richie. I will tell you this too... I can play darts (not very efficiently, of course). Furthermore, I would get a complete whitewash - shellacking off Miss Greaves, she certainly would become even better than she is at present with some more serious competition.MrYnyslas197112-10-2024
- Imagine how much more Beau's averages would rise if she was actually pushed and had competition. She is completely dominating ladies darts like Trina used to.richieburnettrocks12-10-2024
- Most excellent news! Cheers, Mr Gurney.MrYnyslas197109-10-2024
