Van Gerwen, Anderson and Smith all miss Players Championships 17-18 – Entries Confirmed

Prior to the weekend’s doubleheader in Germany, the entrants for Players Championship events 17 and 18 have been confirmed.

The two £100,000 tournaments in Hildesheim from August 26–27 will include a total of 128 players, including PDC Tour Card Holders and PDPA Associate Members.

The PDC Order of Merit, ProTour Order of Merit, and Players Championship Order of Merit will all take prize money won over the course of the weekend into consideration.

Gerwyn Price, the World Cup champion, is at the top of the field, followed by Nathan Aspinall, the World Matchplay champion, Peter Wright, the third-ranked player in the world, and Rob Cross, who earlier this month won back-to-back World Series championships.

Other players include James Wade, Joe Cullen, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Raymond van Barneveld, Chris Dobey, Dave Chisnall, Joe Cullen, Gabriel Clemens, and Chris Dobey.

Among the noteworthy players that withdrew were world number one Michael Smith, Premier League champion Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson, Jonny Clayton, Luke Humphries, and Danny Noppert. In their stead were athletes from the Challenge Tour Order of Merit.

Four streaming boards’ matches are exclusively available to view live on PC and mobile in the UK and numerous other areas.
