Vandaag wordt in de Arena MK te Milton Keynes het vijfde Players Championship toernooi gespeeld. Voor de £ 75.000,= prijzenpot zijn deze dag 128 aangemeld waaronder Michael van Gerwen.
De kans is groot dat Michael in de tweede ronde Jeffrey de Zwaan weer tegenkomt. Jeffrey wist onlangs tijdens het UK Open nog de nummer 1 van de PDC te kloppen en is er natuurlijk op gebrand dit nogmaals te doen.
Buiten deze twee Nederlandse deelnemers ook nog 14 andere spelers uit ons koude kikkerlandje waaronder Christian Kist, Vincent van der Voort en Benito van de Pas.
Gedurende de dag proberen we u zoveel mogelijk op de hoogte te houden van het verloop van dit toernooi.
