Gary Anderson will start as the number two seed at the Players Championship Finals this weekend. 'The Flying Scotsman' was back to his best once again during the Pro Tour season, capturing three floor titles.
Anderson, winner of the Players Championship Finals in 2014, will take on darts veteran Steve Beaton in the first round of the upcoming edition. "The young kids are coming through now, but us older boys are still going," Anderson laughs to the PDC's official website.

"Between me and Steve there's about 300 years of experience on that stage, but Steve still has that classy throw, and is still a very good dart player!" Anderson praised his English opponent.
The two-time world champion recently reached the quarterfinals at the Grand Slam of Darts and now hopes to once again compete for the overall victory. ''I'm back playing and I'm enjoying the game again. In practice everything is over 105 [average]. I'm still a bit inconsistent on stage, but it's getting there!"
