Vincent van der Voort will not play this evening at the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship and has been forced to withdraw from the showpiece tournament after testing positive for Covid-19.
Van der Voort was due to face off against James Wade but now 'The Machine' will get a bye through to the Last 16 where he will face either Joe Cullen or Martijn Kleermaker.
He becomes the second in the past week with Raymond van Barneveld testing positive albeit after he lost to Rob Cross.
Now in new procedures, players have to test negative before they are allowed to play.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
