Van Veen to quarterfinals of PDC Development Tour 18

Gian van Veen is the only Dutchman to advance to the last eight at the eighteenth tournament of the PDC Development Tour 2023.

Van Veen successively defeated Pim van Bijnen (4-0), Keelan Kay (4-3), Reece Colley (4-2), Thomas Banks (4-0) and Jitse van der Wal (4-2) for a spot in the quarterfinals. Jurjen van der Velde missed out on a spot in the last eight by losing 4-2 to 16-year-old talent Luke Littler at the last sixteen.

The PDC Development Tour is considered the training institute of the PDC. Talented players have the opportunity on this circuit to further develop their gift. Players may enter as soon as they reach the age of sixteen. They may then compete up to and including the season in which they turn 24.

15,000 pounds of prize money is paid out per tournament, so the prize pool for the entire circuit of a total of 24 tournaments consists of 360,000 pounds.

From reaching the last 64, players can earn prize money, starting with 75 pounds. That amount then increases each round. The winner collects a handsome £2,500.
