Not really. Is every golf and tennis event on telly a "major"? No, they have a clearly defined set. No different in darts (although I admit they arent defined in quite the same way and it leads to pointless geeky arguments on forums)
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

I don’t see why it isn’t, normally there’s 13 tournaments worth of qualifying for it, so other than this year it’s not easy to qualify for especially if you’re unseeded

Based on that alone I’d say it should warrant being considered a major, it can still be held on a lesser pedestal than the Matchplay and Grand Prix whilst still being considered as a major imo

It is the finals of a tour which has its own OOM much like the players championship which is also a major. Admittedly it's not one of the big ones but it's a major championship

Odd that Rob has won the Euro championship twice without ever even winning a Euro tour event

They are major events but they are clearly below the majors.
Same as the masters events in tennis a clear distinction.
