Thibault Tricole becomes first Frenchman to play at PDC World Darts Championship in blow to Lakeside line-up

Thibault Tricole managed to qualify for the World Darts Championship on Saturday. The 34-year-old Frenchman was the best during the so-called West Europe World Championship Qualifier in Kalkar.
Tricole defeated Wesley Plaisier (7-4) in the final. Plaisier failed to become the tenth Dutchman to qualify for the World Darts Championship via this qualifier. This qualifier exists since 2010 and often produced a Dutch winner.
Only in 2011 (Jose de Sousa), 2012 (Carlos Rodriguez), 2017 (Kenny Neyens) and so 2023 did no Dutch winner emerge. Roland Scholten, Gino Vos, Jermaine Wattimena, Sven Groen, Jerry Hendriks, Yordi Meeuwisse, Jan Dekker, Chris Landman and Jimmy Hendriks were the nine previous Dutch winners.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
