Wessel Nijman was again unbeatable in the 21st tournament of the PDC Development Tour. The Dutchman won his sixth Development Tour title of the season in Wigan and is, with three tournaments to go, as good as certain of the first place in the final standings.
In eight matches, Nijman lost only six legs. He reached a tournament average of 97.9, threw 12 maximum scores during the event and had a finish percentage of a whopping 52 percent over the entire tournament.
In his first five matches against Jack Tarrant (4-0), Jon-Sebastian Wright (4-0), Charlie Large (4-0), Janek Hill (4-0) and Henry Coates (4-0), Nijman did not lose a leg. He then recorded a hard-fought win over Xanti van den Bergh (5-4) in the quarter-finals, before also defeating Niko Springer (5-2) and Nathan Rafferty (5-0).
With the prize money, a ranking is established. At the end of the season, the numbers one and two receive an invitation to the World Darts Championship plus a Tour Card for 2025 and 2026. The winner of the ranking also gets to compete in the Grand Slam of Darts.
