Wright secures Champions League of Darts spot after double Players Championship win
PDCSaturday, 20 July 2019 at 12:00
The Champions League of Darts line-up is getting close to being confirmed with Peter Wright the next player to secure his place when the tournament debuts at the Morningside Arena in Leicester.
Wright did so after his double win in the Players Championship series this week; in two dominant displays to back up previous victories in the non-ranking World Cup of Darts and German Darts Masters also recently.
Reigning champion Gary Anderson, World Champion Michael van Gerwen; as well as Rob Cross, Daryl Gurney and Michael Smith are also assured of their place in the competition.
Gerwyn Price is on the verge of confirming his spot and ahead of the World Matchplay is in a strong position to secure a Champions League debut. James Wade is next up currently; but Mensur Suljovic could take his place if he reaches the semi-finals at the Winter Gardens.
Ian White could qualify by reaching the final in Blackpool; while Simon Whitlock, Dave Chisnall; as well as Nathan Aspinall and Jonny Clayton must win the World Matchplay if they were to take their place in the line-up.

- It’s a (as good as) gauranteed £25,000 for not a lot of effort.Mysstree28-11-2024
- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
- I think with players above those mentioned in the rankings that haven't qualified for the Worlds in 2023 and haven't done so this year (players like Whitlock, King etc) they are guaranteed to stay in the top 64davetat18027-11-2024
- It is simply not true to say that these 5 players are guaranteed to keep their Tour Cards. At least Karel Sedlacek, Dylan Slavin and Stephen Burton are in danger of losing them, especially if they fail to win their first round match. Connor Scutt, Wesley Plaisier and the three mentioned players will be fighting hard for their Tour Cards.mxxiv27-11-2024
