Australia's Tim Pusey became the latest player to confirm his qualification for the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship last weekend.
Pusey will make his Alexandra Palace debut after securing top spot on the Australian Darts Association Tour rankings, clinching back-to-back titles across the final weekend of ADA action in Victoria.
The 33-year-old overhauled former World Championship qualifier Raymond Smith to book his place in the sport's flagship event, where he will join compatriot Joe Comito.
Comito claimed top spot on the DPA ProTour rankings for the second consecutive year to seal his World Championship return, having succumbed to Thibault Tricole in the opening match of the tournament last year.
The Australian duo are the latest International Qualifiers, and will be joined by another debutant in America's Adam Sevada, who continued his terrific form on the CDC circuit by claiming his fifth title of 2025 in Chicago back in August.
Sevada won four straight events midway through the campaign, and he is now guaranteed to finish as either the top-ranked American or the top-ranked non-qualified player on the CDC rankings, with just three events remaining ahead of the qualification cut-off.
Elsewhere, Xiaochen Zong will compete in his fifth World Darts Championship later this year, after retaining the PDC China Championship title in Xian last month.
The 27-year-old has been the dominant force in Chinese darts for much of the last decade, and he continued his monopoly of the domestic circuit with a 3-1 victory over Qingyu Zhan to clinch his big stage return.
China will play host to the final weekend of 2025 PDC Asian Tour action this weekend, as further International Qualifiers for the 2025/26 World Darts Championship are confirmed.
The top five players on the PDC Asian Tour rankings will also compete at Alexandra Palace, alongside the PDC Asian Championship winner and runner-up.
Dates for further International Qualifiers ahead of the 2025/26 World Darts Championship have been finalised, with the Netherlands & Belgium Qualifier set to take place on Saturday November 15 at Maaspoort in Den Bosch.
