The PDC presented the field of participants for the Premier League. Masters winner Joe Cullen can look forward to his debut. Fallon Sherrock, on the other hand, isn’t there. Some prominent men are also left behind.

“I’m in the Premier League?” the incredulous Joe Cullen had to reassure himself. The Englishman was just doing the interview when he found out about the good news. Then he clenched his fist several times and said, “I deserve it. I always hoped it would happen.”

Cullen had just won the Masters the night before, arguably securing his place in the prestigious tournament series. In the first important event of the year and at the same time Cullen’s first major final ever, the 32-year-old beat his compatriot Dave Chisnall 11:9. The nomination of the “rock star” is also confirmation that the Professional Darts Corporation really wanted to wait and see for the Masters. Normally, the Premier League field is always announced after the World Cup final.

The other starters have also been determined. In addition to Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright, Michael van Gerwen and James Wade, who were certain of their participation due to their place in the top four in the world rankings, World Cup finalist Michael Smith, defending champion Jonny Clayton and veteran Gary Anderson were selected. In the reformed mode with 16 individual tournaments instead of a league system, only eight instead of the usual ten participants will be there for the first time.

Sherrock’s absence is not surprising

There is no space for a woman. Fallon Sherrock was traded for a place after her good performances in the previous year and prominent support from world champion Wright, among others. Then the “Queen of the palace” failed in the first round of the World Championships due to Steve Beaton and clearly missed the tour card in the Q-School. It is therefore not surprising that it was not taken into account.

Due to the new format, a few other stars are also missing. European champion Rob Cross is not among the top ten in the world rankings, nor is Dimitri van den Bergh and José de Sousa. Instead, the PDC relies on Cullen, who is the only starter not to be found in the top 10.

The Premier League, in which a million pounds will be distributed, starts next Thursday in Cardiff. Then the discs from the supplier Winmau will be played for the first time. The PDC confirmed the deal for the next five years. The previous partner Unicorn had previously announced that it was ending its collaboration with the PDC after 25 years.
