Thornton confirmed as 20th player for World Seniors Darts Championship
PDCFriday, 07 May 2021 at 12:00
Robert Thornton has been announced as the twentieth player to take part in the Seniors World Darts Championship, a tournament that will be held in early 2022 for famous darts players over the age of 50.
The 53-year-old Thornton is still an active player and his participation is possible on condition that he does not regain his PDC Tour Card in January. The Scot lost his Tour Card after last season, but has expressed his ambition to return to the PDC circuit.
The Thorn experienced the heyday of his career in the previous decade, winning the UK Open (2012) and World Grand Prix (2015). In 2013, 2014 and 2016, Thornton competed in the Premier League Darts.
In the near future, the organisation will give two more wildcards to players who have made special achievements on the darts circuit in the past.
The two remaining spots will be made available during a qualification tournament in November 2021. More information about this tournament is not yet known. The first edition of the World Senior Championships will be played in early 2022. An exact date is not confirmed yet.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024
- I have a nickname for him Ni I man.medinabello23-12-2024
- C'MON HEMPS!!medinabello23-12-2024
- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
- Hard to play slow players. Does your head in.medinabello23-12-2024

- Get his wife to work so that he can retire. Do the seniors tour, Modus, exbos. He'll still be doing alright.medinabello23-12-2024
