What's on today

PDC: Players Championship 34 in Leicester

In Leicester the PDC's Players Championship 34 (PC 34) starts today, with play getting under way at 14:00 German time. The Players Championship Order of Merit, which counts the prize money from the regular Players Championships, decides the field for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead. For players on the edge of the qualifying places, today's tournament is therefore another chance to make up ground in that ranking.

The Players Championships are PDC floor tournaments without a public crowd and without ticket sales; play takes place on several boards in parallel, with selected boards broadcast. World champion Luke Littler has pulled out of PC 33 and PC 34.
