PDC Players Championship Finals at Doncaster Dome 2011

[Arena Mole]

PDC Players Championship Finals will be at Doncaster Dome from Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th December.

 

The world's best darts players will return to Doncaster later this year, after the PDC confirmed that the Players Championship Finals will be held at The Dome from December 8-11. The Dome staged the four-day, £250,000 tournament in February as 32 players battled for the £60,000 first prize, which was eventually taken by Phil Taylor with a narrow 13-12 defeat of Gary Anderson in the final. The success of February's tournament has seen the Professional Darts Corporation confirm that the event's next staging will be held back in Doncaster.

 

The Players Championship Finals will be brought forward by two months in the calendar, to follow hot on the heels of the final qualifying Players Championships, which will be held the previous weekend in Wigan. Professional players such as Taylor, Anderson, three-time World Champion John Part and current World Champion Adrian Lewis will compete in 31 Players Championships around the world during the course of 2011, with the top 32 performers qualifying to compete in the Finals in Doncaster. "The Players Championship Finals have gone from strength to strength since the first event was held in January 2009," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.

 

"Phil Taylor and Paul Nicholson were deserving winners in the first two years, and Phil performed brilliantly in the final against Gary Anderson this February to reclaim the title. "The event is all about seeing the form players from the PDC ProTour circuit coming together in a major event, and by bringing the tournament forward to December this will capture the players in their peak." Nicholson, who did not qualify to defend his title this year after finishing 33rd in the 2010 Players Championship, has already earned his place in December's event after winning three tournaments so far this year.
