Ricky Evans krijgt voor het eerst een automatische plaatsing voor een Euro Tour-toernooi toegewezen. 'Rapid Ricky' haalde afgelopen weekend de finale van de German Darts Championship en steeg daardoor naar een vijftiende plek op de PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit.
Aangezien op 2 april de cut-off is voor de Austrian Darts Open en de European Darts Grand Prix, gaat Evans op deze toernooien tot de zestien reekshoofden behoren.
Jermaine Wattimena viel door de sterke run van Evans uit de top-16 en staat nu zeventiende. De Gelderlander moet hopen op een afzegging van één van de spelers boven hem om alsnog automatisch geplaatst te zijn voor het vijfde en zesde Euro Tour-toernooi van het jaar. Michael van Gerwen is de nummer één van de Pro Tour-ranking en is sowieso een reekshoofd op de Austrian Darts Open en European Darts Grand Prix.
De spelers in de top-32 van de huidige Pro Tour Order of Merit krijgen aankomend weekend tijdens Players Championship 9 en 10 een beschermde status. Doordat Van Gerwen heeft besloten om niet mee te doen aan deze vloertoernooien, schuift Vincent van der Voort een plek op naar de 32ste plaats.
