AN intriguing season of away from the TV camera darts sees the Player Championship element of the PDC’s Pro Tour commence this coming weekend.
Player entries have been confirmed for next week’s opening double-header, as the 2024 PDC ProTour season begins in Wigan.
The Robin Park Tennis Centre will play host to Players Championships 1-2 on February 12-13, as the newest additions to the professional circuit compete alongside the sport’s established stars in the first ranking events of 2024.
The two £125,000 tournaments will see a field of 128 players – comprised of PDC Tour Card Holders and PDPA Associate Members – competing across two days of competition, with £15,000 on offer to the winner of each event.
Top seed Dave Chisnall will be among the players in action, alongside World Champion and world number one Luke Humphries.
Teenage sensation Luke Littler will also feature, as the 17-year-old competes in his first ProTour events since becoming a PDC professional in January.
Play will commence at 1300 GMT on each day, and coverage from four boards in each event will be streamed on PDCTV and across bookmakers’ websites worldwide.
