The PDC ProTour returns this week with Players Championship 21 and 22 as another huge field of Tour Card holders chase valuable ranking money and momentum heading into the second half of the season.
As always, these floor events can produce surprises, but several players arrive in excellent form according to the latest Q4QS data.
Six To Follow
Luke Humphries
The world-class standard continues. Humphries remains the highest-ranked player in the Q4QS database and already has a Players Championship title this season alongside a World Masters final appearance , as well as the recent World Cup win for England, alongside Luke Littler.
Gerwyn Price
Price continues to produce strong results and arrives on the back of a European Darts Grand Prix victory. His recent form suggests another deep run could be on the cards.
Wessel Nijman
One of the breakout stars of the season. Multiple titles, strong averages and another recent quarter-final make Nijman a serious contender.
Ross Smith
Fresh from winning Players Championship 20, Ross Smith will arrive full of confidence and looking to add further silverware.
Luke Woodhouse
A Players Championship winner earlier this year and still producing excellent performances. Woodhouse remains one of the most dangerous unseeded threats in any draw.
Kevin Doets
Consistency has been the key. Several semi-finals and strong scoring power mean Doets is always a threat to go deep.
Surprise Packages
Joe Hunt
Three titles and several deep runs have gone slightly under the radar. If he can string together a few big performances, he could surprise many of the bigger names.
Sebastian Bialecki
The young Pole has enjoyed a superb run of form and arrives with momentum on his side. One to watch closely.
Final Thoughts
With Humphries, Price, Van Gerwen, Dobey, Nijman and Smith all in action, the standard is likely to be exceptionally high. However, floor events often reward confidence and momentum, meaning players such as Woodhouse, Doets, Hunt and Bialecki could be capable of making significant runs over the two tournaments.
