Cullen to make Premier League Debut

Cullen to make Premier League Debut 

Joe Cullen will compete in the Cazoo Premier League for the first time in 2022, as the eight-player line-up announced for this year’s revamped event.

Cullen’s selection comes less than 24 hours after winning his first TV title at The Masters, while world number one Gerwyn Price and World Championship runner-up Michael Smith return after missing the 2021 season.

Price, World Champion Peter Wright, and five-time Premier League winner Michael van Gerwen, as well as reigning champion Jonny Clayton, are among the top three box office stars in the world.

Former Premier League champions James Wade and Gary Anderson round out a star-studded starting lineup for the new season, which kicks off on Thursday in Cardiff.

The contestants were announced alongside the revelation that the Cazoo Premier League in 2022 will be the first event to incorporate the Winmau Blade 6 dartboard, as part of a new agreement announced on Monday.
