PDC Pro Tour Update

THE PDC have re-arranged the two new Players Championship events in Holland to the end of August, while Blue Square UK Open Regional Finals later this year will be replaced by Players Championship tournaments.

Two new Players Championship tournaments will be staged in Holland on August 30 and 31, to replace the Thialf Darts Trophy, which was recently cancelled.

The venue for the tournaments will be the NH Conference Centre Koningshof in Veldhoven, near Eindhoven.

September's Ireland Open Classic Players Championship has moved from Castlebar and will now be held at the Dromore Community Centre, Co Tyrone.

Full details for the above events will be posted within the Calendar section of PlanetDarts in the near future.

A new development for the PDC Pro Tour will see the eight Regional Finals for the 2009 Blue Square UK Open all take place in the 2009 calendar year.

The three Regional Finals scheduled for this autumn, in Wales, Ireland and Scotland, will be replaced by Players Championship tournaments on the same dates.

Players who intend to travel to the Australian Open Players Championship in August are reminded that they can also enter the other events in the William Cross Pro-Am. For full details, click here - www.williamcrossdartsopen.com
