Devon Peterson lost out in the African qualifiers over the weekend. It's great to see new players coming through instead of the same old faces all the time.

Starting on the 15th. Noticeable that the 14th is the second semi-final of the World Cup, and the one England would be in if they get that far having won their group. So I reckon they deliberately chose the start date to avoid that potential clash.
Just leaves them one possible clash with the final on Sunday 18th.

It seems the PDC have given Fallon a place due to winning the womens World Matchplay.
Would appear to be massive nepotism here as every other player needs to qualify.
Not even sure how they’ve managed it as I thought all qualifying spots had a route assigned to them

There had definitely been an open spot in the "international/others" qualifying criteria for a while now. I guess they've randomly just decided to fill it with their star... That said, most of the other qualifiers in that section did have to win a specific tournament, so this change isn't too far-fetched if it remains for future years.

With so many known and marketable 'names' missing out as the game gets bigger, I wonder if they'll go for a full 128 player event soon.
From 72 players to the current 96 players in 2018 was the last expansion. An extra 32 games would be 8 sessions, and I don't think they'd have any problem selling them out.

Durrant has announced his retirement as he has lost his tour card. Can't say I'm surprised.
Quite a few big name players confirmed to have lost their tour cards now after not qualifying for the worlds. The following have all lost their cards:
Scott Mitchell
Willie Borland
Glen Durrant
John Henderson
Jeffrey De Zwaan
Max Hopp
Danny Baggish
I wonder how many will get their card back straight away.
