Published:
It mightnot be the Premier League or the World Championships but tonight five of the PDC’sfinest will go head-to-head from their own homes.
Chris Dobey,Devon Petersen, Matthew Edgar, Luke Humphries and Ted Evetts are all set totake part in the event, which is being streamed live by the PDC on Facebook at7:00pm.
Here you cancheck out our mini profiles on each player before the action gets underway.
ChrisDobey
Dobey oftenbrings his game to the big stage without producing the goods in the floor tournaments.That should make for an interesting spectacle this evening.
Hollywoodreached the semi-finals of the Players Championship and the last-16 of both theWorld Championship and the UK Open in recent months. Can he bring it alltogether again here?
DevonPetersen
Who knows what moves we’ll get from Dancing Devon tonight. The South African has been in better form of late and made a semi-final appearance at a Players Championship event in February this year.
We know hethrives on the big stage, but how will he do without the crowd behind him? Wecan’t wait to find out, so long as he cuts some of those famous shapes in theprocess.
MatthewEdgar
The mannicknamed Primetime will get his moment in the spotlight tonight and it won’t befor having an argument with Glen Durrant for a change. That said, it appearsunlikely the 33-year-old will challenge.
Edgar hasfailed to go beyond the last-32 of a PDC major in his career so far while hisPlayers Championship performances have also been lacking. Could he spring a shock?There’s not long to wait to find out.
LukeHumphries
It’s been acase of like name like nature for Cool Hand recently. After reaching his secondWorld Championship quarter-final in as many years, Humphries became the firstChallenger to win a Premier League tie last month.
As is thecase with a few players taking part this evening, though, he doesn’t alwaystransfer his A-Game to the floor tournaments. Nevertheless, he’ll fancy hischances regardless of the format in tonight’s event.
TedEvetts
Chances areyou’ll have heard of Ted Evetts not for his own darting exploits but rather forhis part in Fallon Sherrock’s run to the third round of the World Championships.Evetts was her first victim in round one.
Leave thatto one side and SuperTed is a talented player in his own right. He’s risen tonumber 66 in the world, and despite finding things tough in the PlayersChampionship, he has won a number of Development Tour events.
