TED HANKEY and Phil Taylor have withdrawn from the German Darts Masters this weekend.
Hankey was forced to pull out of last weekend's Players Championship events in Barnsley after being involved in a minor car accident last Friday night, in which he suffered whiplash injuries.
The two-time Lakeside Champion has not recovered sufficiently to travel to Germany and has withdrawn from the event, meaning that he misses out on a European Tour debut having won through the UK Qualifier in July.
Hankey's place in the first round draw against Robert Thornton will be taken by an additional Host Nation Qualifier, while World Champion Taylor will be replaced in the field by an additional European Qualifier, who will take on Daryl Gurney on Friday night.
The Host Nation Qualifier and European Qualifier will be held on Thursday night at the Glaspalast in Sindelfingen, with the German Darts Masters being staged at the venue from Friday September 20-Sunday September 22.
The revised draw bracket and schedule of play are below, to be updated on Thursday evening following the completion of the Qualifiers.
Although there is no live TV coverage of the German Darts Masters, the PDC hope to be able to offer selected match highlights in www.LIVEPDC.TV in due course.
