Unibet European Championship Race Latest

Michael van Gerwen (Kelly Deckers, PDC Europe)

JUST two European Tour events remain before the cut-off for the 2018 Unibet European Championship, with places in the 32-player field still up for grabs.

Last weekend's Dutch Darts Championship saw Ricky Evans jump into the provisional qualifying places after winning through to the final in Maastricht.

The Kettering thrower claimed £10,000 prize money to move to £17,000 prize money on the European Tour.

Jan Dekker and Chris Dobey, on £11,000, currently occupy the final two places inside the top 32 as they eye European Championship qualification next month.

However, former European Championship finalist Steve Beaton is amongst four players on £10,000 prize money this year, alongside Luke Humphries, Ron Meulenkamp and Robert Thornton.

Nine players, including Jelle Klaasen, Kim Huybrechts, Wayne Jones and Martin Schindler, sit on £9,000 going into the final two European Tour events.

Ian White's victory in the Dutch Darts Championship moved him up to third on the European Tour Order of Merit, behind runaway leader Michael van Gerwen and Danish Darts Masters champion Mensur Suljovic.

Ever-consistent Joe Cullen, German Darts Open winner Max Hopp and two-time finalist Peter Wright have all topped £40,000 prize money on the European Tour this year.

The PDC European Tour will be broadcast for all PDCTV-HD Subscribers worldwide and through a series of bookmakers' websites.

The Unibet European Championship will be held from October 25-28 in Dortmund. For tickets, see the PDC Europe website.
