Gary Anderson bids to end 7-year self-exile from the European Tour
Gary Anderson bids to end 7-year self-exile from the European Tour
When Gary Anderson competes in the Tour Card holder qualifier for the German Darts Grand Prix on Monday, he will try to end a seven-year absence from the European Tour.
The European Darts Open in Düsseldorf in 2016 marked Anderson’s most recent appearance in a European Tour competition, and the German Darts Championship in 2014 yielded his lone Euro Tour victory to date.
After the most recent World Championship, the two-time World Champion fell to 22nd in the PDC Order of Merit, and after the first two Players Championship events of the season, he has since dropped another two spots.
Last year, Anderson missed out on a spot in the Grand Slam for the first time and was unable to advance past the Last 32 stage of a televised ranking tournament.
The Scot has entered the Tour Card holder qualifier for ET4 in Barnsley on Monday. ET4 will be held in Munich from April 8–10; the qualifier for the International Open (ET3) in Riesa has not been entered.
Raymond van Barneveld, James Wade, Chris Dobey, Jose de Sousa, Ross Smith, Daryl Gurney, and Adrian Lewis are some additional notable participants in the qualifying action.
The PDC European Tour’s prize pool has increased to £175,000 per event this year, with £30,000 going to the event winner.
