World Series Of Darts – Finals
When: 21st November 2015 & 22nd November 2015
Location: Braehead Arena
The inaugural World Series of Darts Finals will be held at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow this November!
It has been announced that the World Series of Darts Finals will be held on the 21st and 22nd of November right here in Glasgow, at the Braehead Arena!
The World Series of Darts Finals will see the PDC return to Glasgow’s Braehead Arena, which previously hosted the Jocky Wilson Cup event in 2009 between Scotland and England.
The expansion of the World Series of Darts will see five tournaments held this year, with May’s Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters and last weekend’s Zipang Casino Japan Darts Masters followed in August by events in Perth, Sydney and Auckland.
Each World Series event offers ranking points for finishing positions, with the final top eight from the rankings progressing to compete in the World Series of Darts Finals.
The World Series of Darts Final event in Glasgow will feature the top 8 starts from the five events this year, plus 16 qualifiers from around the world (details to be confirmed nearer the time). Play will be held in two sessions per day on November 21st – 22nd.
With World Champion Gary Anderson and Sunday’s Zipang Casino Japan Darts Masters runner-up Peter Wright both hailing from Scotland and Robert Thornton leading the country’s batch of other PDC stars, Scottish darts has never been as strong.
“Scottish fans love their darts and this will be another fantastic opportunity for them to see the greatest players in the sport up close and personal in November,” said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.
“The World Series of Darts as a concept has grown incredibly over the past three years since we first held events in Dubai and Sydney, and with Japan, Perth and Auckland also on the calendar in 2015 it was a natural development to create the World Series of Darts Finals.
“Alongside the top eight stars from the five events this year, we’ll also have a series of 16 qualifiers from around the world who will again be hoping to show their talents on the big stage.”
Hearn added: “It’s great to be returning to the Braehead Arena. The atmosphere when we staged the Jocky Wilson Cup at the venue six years ago was amazing and showed the passion which Scottish fans have for the sport – it promises to be a memorable weekend.”
Phil Taylor’s win in the Japan Darts Masters, allied to his runner-up finish in Dubai a month ago, has seen him move clear at the top of the World Series of Darts Rankings, ahead of Dubai winner Michael van Gerwen.
