Van Peer likely set for World Championship and PDC Tour Card as Challenge Tour dominance continues
PDCMonday, 08 May 2023 at 15:28
After 14 of the 24 Challenge Tour tournaments, Berry van Peer already seems to have taken a giant step towards the big prizes on offer at the end of the season
The Challenge Tour circuit is open to players who entered the Q-School but did not win a Tour Card. The numbers one and two will receive a PDC Tour Card for 2024 and 2025 and also get to compete at the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace. The number one ranked player also gets to participate in the Grand Slam of Darts.
Just over halfway through the season, Van Peer has built a huge lead. Last weekend he won three of the five tournaments played and in total he already took four titles on the PDC Challenge Tour 2023.
In total, he already earned £11,850 on this tour, more than twice as much as numbers two and three Chris Landman and Christian Kist with both £5050.
Behind them follows Dragutin Horvat with £4950, while John Henderson is fifth with £4875. Ron Meulenkamp is the fourth Dutchman in the top six with 4725 pounds.

- Well done Mike – good to move on and look to the future. With his talent, and increasing confidence on stage, he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the month ahead.

- 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
