Van der Voort blasts PDC after 'ridiculous' Premier League pick: "They show their worst side"

On Monday, the PDC announced the participants in the Premier League. And that selection sparked a lot of controversy.
Among others, major winners Danny Noppert and Ross Smith grabbed next to a selection. "Ridiculous," Vincent van der Voort told AD.nl. "Danny also made the semi-finals of the World Matchplay and is much higher in the world rankings than Chris Dobey (21st) You can't explain that, can you? I look at it as a sportsman, but the PDC seems like an entertainment association like that. They show their worst side."
Clemens
Van der Voort also finds it strange that the PDC only announced the participants a few days before the start of the Premier League. "I think they would have liked Gabriel Clemens to be there, because of the German TV market. But then he would have had to go far at The Masters this weekend. That didn't happen and then they would have really faced a lot of criticism if they had added him anyway. That's going too far even for the PDC."

- 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
