These 50 Dutchmen and 14 Belgians take a shot at qualifying for the World Darts Championship on Saturday
PDC
It will be an exciting day on Saturday in Kalkar, where the PDC West Europe Qualifier for the World Darts Championship will be played. A field of nearly one hundred players will compete for one starting spot to at the Alexandra Palace.
Among the participants are fifty Dutchmen. Notable names include, Berry van Peer, Jurjen van der Velde, Jimmy van Schie, Danny van Trijp, Gino Vos, Jeffrey Sparidaans, Jeffrey de Zwaan, Maik Kuivenhoven, Ron Meulenkamp, Martijn Kleermaker, Jelle Klaasen, Danny Jansen, Jerry Hendriks, Jarno Bottenberg, Moreno Blom, Owen Roelofs and Jitse van der Wal.
There are also 14 Belgian players on the list of participants, which can already be found on DartConnect. Andy Baetens, Robbie Knops, Ronny Huybrechts, Brian Ramen and Mario Vandenbogaerde are among the Belgian participants. There are also some Germans and Swiss of the party.
The annual qualifying tournament almost always produces a Dutch or Belgian winner. Last year was a rare exception, when Thibault Tricole ran away with the World Championships ticket. In 2012, the qualifying tournament had a Spanish winner when Carlos Rodriguez won the qualifier.
PDC players who have had a PDC Tour Card for more than two years are not eligible to play in the qualifying tournament. That is why the likes of Vincent van der Voort and Jose de Sousa are missing from the list of participants. They do have one last chance at the Tour Card Qualifying Tournament on Monday, November 25. In this qualification tournament the last three or four starting spots for the Worlds can be decided. How many tickets remain to be distributed depends on Jurjen van der Velde, who plays the final of the PDC Youth World Championship on November 24. If he loses that final, four starting spots are at stake at the Tour Card-qualifying tournament.

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
- actually, since you're asking... yes. yes i do.colt06-03-2025
