2008 PDC Calendar

THE Professional Darts Corporation can announce its 2008 Calendar, with over £3 million in prize money on offer next year.

The calendar is similar to the schedule used in 2007, with many tournaments maintaining the same weekend for next year.

The 2008 Premier League Darts will begin on Thursday 31 January in Glasgow and run for 14 successive weeks in Arena venues - tickets will go on sale on Tuesday 16 October.

New Players Championship events will be introduced alongside the Blue Square UK Open Regional Finals in the South, North-West and Midlands.
