These players lost their PDC Tour Cards after the PDC World Darts Championship
PDCTuesday, 07 January 2025 at 20:27
The Q-School is scheduled for next week, at which time the available Tour Cards will be distributed to participants in the multi-day event in both Kalkar and Milton Keynes.
After the World Darts Championship, it also became clear which players lost their Tour Card. These are the players who failed to secure a spot in the top-64 of the world rankings in two years, or just fell out of the top-64 after a longer period.
The most famous player who has lost his Tour Card is Adrian Lewis. This comes as no surprise, as 'Jackpot' has stopped playing darts since April 2023 and thus no longer earned ranking prize money. In 2025, Lewis hopes to find the joy of darts again by participating in the MODUS Super Series. It is possible that Lewis will participate in the Q-School again in 2026.
Other famous names who have lost their Tour Card are former World Championship finalist Simon Whitlock, darts veteran Mervyn King and Dutch darters such as Vincent van der Voort and Jeffrey de Zwaan. Van der Voort has already indicated he will not attend Q-School this year. However, he does not rule out doing so in the future.
Players who no longer have a PDC Tour Card can earn it back at the Q-School from Jan. 6 through Jan. 12. The Q-School consists of a first phase and a final phase. Players who had a Tour Card in 2024 are admitted directly to the final phase of the Q-School.

- The statement from Hearn that "People will be able to watch what they want to watch, the sports they want to watch, when they want to watch it and for a price they can afford" is bizarre. Sport only works when it is shown live - very few people pull a 'Likely Lads' and try to avoid a result so they can watch highlights later. And if darts disappears off free to air ITV, it certainly won't go to the BBC, who couldn't afford it, even if they were interested. So, that leaves Channel 4 or maybe Channel 5. More likely the ITV package will go to someone like Netflix and the rest stay with Sky. There won't actually be any free to air darts at all.StraightArrowNoBull06-05-2025
- Yes, he can't look good in a football shirt. Good god, couldn't they find a better fitting shirt.richieburnettrocks04-05-2025
- ITV coverage is far superior to SKY It is excellent, always very interesting from an extremely knowledgeable team. I love Chris Mason, Jacqui, Alan and Ned, brilliant presenters and so enjoyable. ITV are also losing their absolutely fantastic Tour de France coverage. They do not get enough credit for the fantastic job they do. What the fudge do BBC do with darts? They let go of the Lakeside and that really helped with sinking the BDO.richieburnettrocks04-05-2025
- Under the tutelage of the Hearns who think they are a law unto themselves when it comes to Sport, so does Porter. Under UK law a woman is now defined by biology therefore that makes Van Leuvan a man in the eyes of the law and should not be playing in womens competitions, entering changing rooms, toilets, etc.Mysstree02-05-2025
- I was always a fan of Rocky, another one of my heroes banished never to return....unless he changes his name to Anne. Andy didn't need to fix matches, he is a good player and wealthy. It sounds like too many people were involved in the bets, and it rather suitably circumstantial. Richie Gardiner has heat with Rocky. How can anyone predict where a player will throw a dart, I purposely avoided hitting 180 when I played as the organisation would pay £10 for each 180 hit to a charity I refused to contribute to. Modus is played in Portsmouth anyway. I've met Rocky many times and thank him for the great matches and memories....unless can he play in the WDFrichieburnettrocks01-05-2025
- Surely then as darts is ‘your job’ then do your job and less exhibitions even if they pay more, or retire and do the exhibition circuit. Appreciate that exhibitions are gauranteed income, you get your fee. Still say scrap the Premier League and even out the season, its only eight of the top guys who lose anything money wise and its not like they are struggling for income.Mysstree29-04-2025
- It was probably the DRA booing, anything to extract money out of the players.richieburnettrocks21-04-2025
- What do you mean WAS the best darts player in the world, Richie Burnett is still the greatest darts player in the world. If you ever need financial assistance, Richie, call me. I think radiator water is probably more appealing than the actual pot noodlerichieburnettrocks20-04-2025
- I agree! It would be the best if the aforementioned ban were to be imposed. Hope is a good thing, Mysstree.MrYnyslas197119-04-2025
- The PDC and WDF could effectively ban transgender people from playing in tournaments other than those of their biological sex after the recent Supreme Court hearing.Mysstree18-04-2025
