Lenny Schlueter was victorious on Sunday, in winning his maiden Winmau Development Tour title, after defeating Henry Coates in the decider, as the fourth weekend of the PDC’s Youth Tour season concluded in Hildesheim.
Schlueter – a three-time Quarter Finalist on the Development Tour in 2026 – reached Sunday’s finale by recording victories on the day against Patrick McShane, Merlin Nicolaus, Alfie Hutton, Nathan Potter, Yorick Hofkens, Angelo Vroomen and Mylo Michiels, to set up a clash with Coates.

The final began with Coates racing into a 2-0 lead with back-to-back 15 darters, before the tie saw five straight breaks of throw ending with Schlueter breaking Coates’ throw in Leg Eight with an 18 darter to send the tie to a ninth and deciding leg.
The advantage of throwing first in the decider proved to be decisive as Schlueter sealed the victory with a 20-dart leg to clinch a maiden PDC title of his career as well as collecting the £3,000 top prize.
