Having been asked by their viewers how darts is covered by the TV cameras, Germany’s host broadcaster @SPORT1 kindly asked me to explain my role as a “spotter” for @SkySportsDarts @OfficialPDC. Combined with the expertise of the darts directors and camera operators, this is how!

After 12 years, my sponsorship with @Winmau has come to an end. It’s been a privilege. From the Winmau World Masters to the iconic Lakeside. From the PDC stage to the Bullseye studio. Proud and thankful to Winmau for believing in me! Wishing you all the very best! #ThankYouWinmau

@JoshGreenMedia Kim Huybrechts missed Cardiff 2017. Also, if you’re including MvG in Exeter 2017 (who’s match was effectively postponed) then there are quite a few more of those where players skipped one night through illness and played 2 games on another…

The key thing here (which I wish the players would acknowledge more) is that as Philip says, 99% of the crowds are amazing and play such a positive role in the sport. It’s only those few that can ruin a great game. Well said, Swiss Phil! 👏👏
Philip Brzezinski@PippoBrzezinski

99,99% of the crowd in Göttingen tonight were amazing, as good as gold and we appreciate them greatly. Thank you❤️ And to the 4 or 5 people that interfered with their whistling, I will stick to what I said on stage: we don’t want you here.

@phillbarrs As ridiculous as the women’s series on the same weekend as the Dutch Open. Time to move to a 2-year calendar haha!

Yes, if Price were to win tonight in Nottingham, he’d be the sixth player to go back-to-back at the same venue. Having also won Nottingham in 2023, Price would be the first player to register a hat-trick of ‘same city’ nightly wins

@LittleRichard Price could do so with a win tonight (I think)

Littler was also the first player in 5 years of Premier League nightly knockouts to win on the Thursday and then win the UK Open that weekend. Cardiff a better commute than Exeter it seems…

Brilliant weekend at the UK Open. Missed the familiar faces and long term colleagues from @ITVSport, but it was also a pleasure working with the new @matchroomsport team in Minehead! For @DionLaan and I our focus was all on main stage match coverage and we loved every dart of it!

Peter Wright played in his first ever European Tour qualifier today. Having previously qualified through his world or pro tour ranking for all previous 137 since 2012 (and playing in a record 128 of them), he fails to qualify for a European Tour event for the very first time.
