PDCThursday, 28 July 2022 at 09:07
While the World Series of Darts will finally return to Australia and New Zealand next month, Peter Wright will not be involved with ‘Snakebite’ withdrawing due to ongoing gallstones issues.
Wright will now be replaced by back-to-back winner in Copenhagen and Amsterdam in Dimitri van den Bergh at the Queensland Darts Masters, New South Wales Darts Masters and NZ Darts Masters in a set of tournaments which also include Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Joe Cullen and Jonny Clayton among others.
"I'm devastated to have to miss the visits to Australia and New Zealand but after further medical checks I have to put my health first," said Wright.
"I was really looking forward to finally getting to Australia and New Zealand and being introduced Down Under as the reigning World Champion in front of all the great fans there.
"I'll be doing everything I can to retain the World Championship and be back there next year instead!"

- 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

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
