Connor Scutt has chosen Ally Pally over Lakeside, while Jonny Tata has withdrawn. Let's see how much the field of the WDF World Championship will change in the coming weeks, might not have been the last two changes.
Plaisier, Gates, Robb and Scutt snub Lakeside in favour of PDC World Darts Championship
WDFMonday, 28 October 2024 at 14:55
Four men were in the unusual position of qualifying for both the PDC World Darts Championship and the WDF World Championship at Lakeside. The PDC prohibits players from entering both tournaments, leaving them with a choice of where to enter.
The same was true earlier for Beau Greaves and Noa-Lynn van Leuven in the women's event. Greaves chose to defend her women's world title at Lakeside, while Van Leuven heads to Alexandra Palace for her debut at the PDC World Championship.
Among the men, Wesley Plaisier, Leonard Gates, Ben Robb and Connor Scutt had yet to tie a knot. However, the WDF announced Monday that all four are missing from the WDF World Championships from Dec. 2 to 10 in Frimley Green.
Plaisier and Scutt will qualify through the Pro Tour for the most important darts tournament of the year at the PDC. Gates forced placement through the CDC Tour, while Robb secured a spot through the DPNZ Tour.

- So pleased for Ritchie Edhouse. As with Mike de Decker's recent triumph, it's great to see the lesser lights of the darting world rising to the big occasions, highlighting the depth of talent in the PDC. And Ritchie's beautiful 144 finish was a joy to behold!
UndartedWaters28-10-2024 - The men's champ will still get more than twice Wayne Warren did at the last ever BDO World's/farce. I agree on the boys and girls getting equal prize money - I feel it needs to be equal there. And I totally agree about the BBC - I get the feeling they were looking to poach some PDC events but it has backfired on them.Thomas Moffatt27-10-2024
- Oh dear - this side of MVG is back, hold your hands up and admit the better player won on the day...Thomas Moffatt27-10-2024
- 6 - 4 is hardly a thrashing. Knew i should have had a tenner on Gilding.Mysstree26-10-2024
- Agreed, thebogeyman. Remember the boxing farce at this year's Olympics... a guy posing as a woman winning the Gold Medal, grim. They should do men who think they are women (separate) competition and award a pair of tight pants for the winner.MrYnyslas197125-10-2024
