Your link gets auto corrected. Plastic paul strikes again.

'That list of players with "major winner" next to them is going to spread like wildfire'.

Gates Sees World Seniors As Experience In PDC Bid

He cant lose really, should he fail at Q School he has a very handy backup, fair play to him.

[oche balboa]

I think he's got a good lot right now and shouldn't worry about Q School

Senior Events, CDC, PDC Worlds, WDF Worlds, Modus, World Series, World Cup of Darts*. Lots of darts

* if he can qualify for it

[Zeyes]

Not to forget soft-tip where he's regularly cleaning up in the US. Guy can't complain about having too few tournaments to choose from, that's for sure.

That interview reminds me of what BDO stalwarts used to say about possible moves to the PDC in the middle 2010s. I'd love to see Gates take a serious stab at the PDC, but I don't really see it happening.

"So far, Warner has enjoyed some well-deserved success on the professional circuit, as he made the last 32 of Players Championship 3 where he beat some considerable competition in Danny Jansen, Darryl Gurney, and Steve Lennon until bowing out to Josh Rock"

Erm, how do you win three games at a Pro Tour and lose in the Last 32? A neat trick that nobody has done for years.

If it weren't for your ruthless streak of sarcasm you could have made a fine editor ginger.

"It's getting more international. The plan is to get more countries in. Now the European Tour we are in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, next year we will be in Switzerland that's for sure."

"We are looking at Italy, Spain, France now also but it has to fit into the calendar."

Let's be fair. Those events are guaranteed to sell. I don't like it either and I want new countries but it will take time. PDC recently expanded to a lot of new countries, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, and Switzerland next year

[oche balboa]

Not enough weeks in the Calendar to fit those in.

The only way of going about it is if they put some Pro Tours together or/and when there is a World Series Event (The elite players won't mind missing a few surely)

[The Ginge Reaper]

If there were 20 or so of them players wouldnt be too fussed about missing them, same as the Pro Tour.

Just dont tell Jon Newbury.

[The Thorn]

Pro Tours need to remain the bread and butter as they are open to everyone

Pro Tours need to remain the bread and butter as they are open to everyone

So are the Euro Tour events tbf, but yes wouldnt like to see the Pro Tour events diminish to fit in more Euro events.

You know what I meant Euro Tour the seeds have a huge advantage

PDC Calendar is getting full as it is

30 Pro Tours (15 Weekends)
13 Euro Tours (13 Weeks)
1 Week for Q School
Worlds (2 weeks at the end of the year)
Matchplay, WGP, Grand Slam (2 weekends)
Euro, Players, UK Open, World Cup, Masters, World Series finals (1 Weekends)
5 World Series events (5 weekends)

The next week off for the top players is the 10th June. its crammed

[The Ginge Reaper]

Well yes, you dont have to play them all I suppose, there is a golf event every week on the various tours, no player plays the lot, it will get to the point where players do that to avoid burnout. Suppose its a nice problem to have, the snooker lot are currently moaning about the opposite.
