Berry van Peer, Owen Bates and Prakash Jiwa have joined the list of International Qualifiers for the 2023/24 Paddy Power World Darts Championship.

Van Peer and Bates sealed their qualification via the Winmau Challenge Tour, finishing first and second respectively on the Order of Merit following the conclusion of the 2023 season on Monday.

Dutch star Van Peer will make his World Darts Championship debut following a terrific 2023 campaign, which saw the 27-year-old claim four titles to top the Challenge Tour Order of Merit.

Bates, a 20-year-old from Exeter, sealed his qualification in last-gasp fashion, reaching back-to-back finals in the year's final two events to leapfrog Scottish star John Henderson into the second qualifying position.

Jiwa, meanwhile, will make his second consecutive World Championship appearance after winning through last weekend’s Indian Qualifier.

Former PDC Tour Card Holder Jiwa sealed his spot in the sport's flagship event with a comprehensive 6-1 success against Bhaval Patel, taking out a 160 checkout en route to victory in the decider.

Further International Qualifiers for the 2023/24 World Darts Championship will be confirmed in November, as the remaining events take place around the globe.

The winner of next week’s PDC Europe Super League will feature at Alexandra Palace, before the West Europe and East Europe Qualifiers are held on November 18 and November 25 respectively.

The 96-player field for the 2023/24 World Darts Championship will then be confirmed following the Tour Card Holder Qualifier on Monday November 27, with four qualification spots up for grabs in Barnsley.
