Thornton, Lewis and Van de Pas among players who lost PDC Tour Cards

Robert Thornton, Jamie Lewis and Benito van de Pas are among the players who have lost their Tour Card following the conclusion of the 2020 season.

In all 33 players lost their PDC Tour Card. Meaning 29 spots up for grabs at Q-Schools as David Evans, Ritchie Edhouse, Keane Barry and Berry van Peer won Tour Cards through Challenge Tour and Development Tour.

As well as the aforementioned players, the likes of Maik Kuivenhoven who showed promise at times during his first stint as a Tour Card holder, Richard North, Jan Dekker, Kirk Shepherd and Rowby-John Rodriguez will also have to return to Q-School.

They will have the added caveat though of returning to Q-School in Stage Two having lost their Tour Cards meaning they will compete with the Qualifiers from Stage One and those from the Challenge and Development Tour who finished towards the top of the Order of Merit without winning a Tour Card.

For those like Mark McGeeney, they have been handed a lifeline of sorts with Harry Ward relinquishing his Tour Card.

Mike van Duivenbode will also seemingly not be at Q-School after deciding against returning to the tour with an indefinate break after the Autumn Series.
