Unluckiest man in darts? Darryl Pilgrim part of striking trend in European Tour qualifying tournaments
PDCThursday, 26 June 2025 at 18:15
Statistics platform Darts Tracker has detected a striking trend in Darryl Pilgrim's participation in the 2025 Euro Tour qualifying tournaments for Tour Card holders.
Ten Euro Tour qualifying tournaments have been played so far this season. Twice Pilgrim managed to qualify for the main tournament. What stands out, however, is that on the eight occasions when the Englishman did not make it, he ended up losing to the player who eventually walked away with a starting spot.
Pilgrim qualified for the Belgian Darts Open in Wieze early this season, while he also recently made his appearance at the European Darts Open in Leverkusen. Three times he lost in the final round to a qualifier; against Robert Grundy, Mickey Mansell and Ricardo Pietreczko, respectively. So they all managed to secure a spot at the final tournament.
But the same happened to Pilgrim against Adam Hunt, Thibault Tricole, Karel Sedlacek, Gabriel Clemens and Martin Lukeman. They won over Pilgrim before the final round and ended up qualifying as well.

- I couldn't understand at the time why he changed darts? I guess it was all to do with money,but his darts designer came from Australia or new Zealand. It's not as if you pop to Stockport for a chat!!rick6711-07-2025
- Smith has been rubbish since he won the world title. Like he reached the top of the mountain and then gave up. Anyone else would have tried a change of dart, but not Smith, the sponsorship money was more important than success. He will be lucky to stay in the top 100 the way his game is going...JohnnyConger11-07-2025
- Diet could be the problem with arthritis. Changing your diet can alleviate the symptoms if not get rid of it and lose some weight, wrong diet and overweight cause inflammation. Avoid the Covid jab.Mysstree11-07-2025
- There are two players Michael Smith can leapfrog with a semi-final today: as well as Ryan Joyce, he could equal RVB and with the £5k would qualify on the count back rule of money earned in the last four Pro Tour tournaments. Either Ryan or Raymond would have to lose in the first round for a semi to be enough. O'Connor must win today to have a chance, and everyone in-between requires at least a finalist's cheque and some help from above.Scoobedybop09-07-2025
- The News of the World paper no longer exists so it would need a new title and would anyone want to be linked with what is now a dubious rag of a newspaper in its latter years. Logistically it would be very straightforward to organise, finances would be the problem.Mysstree07-07-2025
- You would have thought by now Pot Noodle would be sponsoring old Richie and maybe a central heating company as well. For people who are pretty good at arithmetic, a lot of dart players are very poor at managing money.Mysstree03-07-2025

- Sickening to hear when so many nobodies in darts today earn what they earn and will never ever be World Champion. Disgraceful to hear that World Champion Richie Burnett one of the greatest players ever is financially strapped. Get in touch Richie, I'll help with whatever you need. Richie Burnett absolutely rocks ! ! !richieburnettrocks01-07-2025
