The PDJ Japan Qualifier for the PDC World Championship yielded a surprise winner this past weekend in the form of Shoji Edward who will make his debut at the PDC World Championship later this year.
Edward beat Akihito Morita in the final 5-4 who missed several match-darts. Seigo Asada who makes a habit of qualifying through this route every year lost to the eventual winner despite leading 3-0.
'The Ninja' has reached the PDC World Championship on three prior occasions losing to Peter Wright 4-2 in the third round last year.

- Have you noticed in honour of the great man ,Richie Burnett that Waitrose have designed their current carrier bags with a bright green W...very reminiscent of the shirt Richie wore in the 90s Never in the history of darts do we need a player to withdraw and provide that safety net for the greatest player in darts. Seeing as Richie Burnett is a World Champion he should have a permanent tour card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2026
- Come on big lad,you say something, delete it,so what's the beef? You lost 5-0. Did he just lose his tissue whilst crying? If you can't do it, don't. You wouldn't catch your dad wiping your nose! All the greats of the past,and a snotty kid boy who lost. Boo boo. Come on Mr Burnett,you know you agree with me!!! You are a true gentrick6707-01-2026

- I definitely won't be watching this tripe. Picking fatty Bunting so he can mime and do those pathetic hand gestures in a desperate attempt to appease the crowd is completely criminal. This worthless goof and peoples chump is taking home £80000 from the competition Why not pick Justin Hood? A refreshing and very popular characterrichieburnettrocks05-01-2026

- Well,I won't be be watching the weekly tirade of this 'league!' It's honestly a waste of time,I'm fed up with writing it,but it's a weekly p**s up for fans,and a payday for 8 players and the pdc. Helps not 1 single other playerrick6705-01-2026
