Duzza and Smith obviously proved me incorrect. Credit to both, especially the former who I admittedly underrated a bit as a player. I still feel Smith is overrated in line with his 2013 hype, which many forget.

I don't count the PDC Masters as a PDC major, so Bunting is yet to prove me incorrect in terms of winning a major.

I will be a bit surprised if Chizzy wins a PDC Premier event, let alone a major.

He may get a Masters or a Euro finals but cannot see him winning a major

All PDC premier events are classed as majors, that’s official, but I guess the word of a few on here is right and not the PDC.

I know you are upset about last night, but there is no need to be so passive aggressive.

The PDC class most of their TV events as Premier events. I adopt the snooker model and only classify a percentage of these events as majors (Worlds, PL, MP, Open, GSOD, GP)

The pdc would class 2 tramps pissing up a wall as a major event if they could make a buck out of it

The European Championship and Players both have qualification criteria, I don't know why they get held to a lower regard than some of the others.

Short format weekend events are not in the same tier as real majors

Open has a larger field competing over the 3 days and has been around 5 years longer.

I'm not arsed if people consider the other two events as majors or not. I think it is reasonable to discount the Open as a major too. I value all of them far more than the Masters and World Series finals.

Due to history the UK Open is above the other 2. But I don't put it on the same tier as Matchplay, Grand Prix, Grand Slam.

I loathe putting the current version of the GSOD above the Open. The GSOD is dull as fuck nowadays, while the Open is my second favourite darts event.

But it's probably sensible to do so.

This..

Shame that the Open isn't a bit longer... maybe over a Bank Holiday to stretch it out a tad..
It all seems a bit rushed

Hopefully wadey wins another one or two, i would like the veen and old looking weirdly shaped young littler to win one as well.

I don't think the obese German giant choker clemens will win one, cunt hasn't even won a floor event

Nutcase dirk has gone to shit unfortunately.

You could argue the GSOD has been dull since Ted last appeared in it.

It was a cracking little stroke in fairness.
