Originally from Millingen aan de Rijn , Luc Peters is one of the many Dutch darters with big ambitions. In the past, Peters played mainly in local tournaments and a little later also took part in his first events of the WDF and BDO . At the 2017 World Masters , Peters was eliminated in the round of 144, and the qualifier for the 2018 BDO World Championship didn't go too far either. At the Dutch Open 2019, Peters made it to the round of 16, where he beat Richard Veenstra 4-1failed.

In 2021, John Brown created a novelty at the Q-School. He followed his father Steve Brown on the PDC tour and thus managed to win the tour card. But this path was certainly not foreseeable at the beginning, although he came to the PDC World Youth Championship in 2016 as a JDC qualifier . There he celebrated victories in the decider against James Hubbard and Xiao Chen Zong before he also had the upper hand with 6:4 against Ross Twell . I

Kenny Neyens is one of the talented young Belgian players who is gradually appearing in the PDC . Already in 2012 he played his first international tournaments and reached the final at the World Youth Masters . He did the same at the 2014 British Teenage Open. At the end of this year he was also in the final of the Central European qualifier for the PDC World Championship. In 2015 Neyens tried his hand at the European Tour for the first time and ended up in the main draw of the Dutch Darts Masters at the first attempt . Also that year he reached the round of 16 of the PDC World Youth Championship

The American Danny Lauby Jnr. is probably the most promising talent from the United States in recent years. He qualified for the PDC World Youth Championship at a young age and then entered the World Series stage. From now on, his career went uphill and Lauby played all PDC tournaments for which he was eligible. Twice he qualified for the PDC World Championship and in 2021 he reached the round of 16 at the World Cup of Darts .

Janos Vegso (born December 1, 1990) is also a Hungarian darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation events.

In 2016, he made his PDC European Tour debut at the 2016 European Darts Trophy and 2016 German Darts Championship, losing in the first round to Martin Schindler and Darren Johnson respectively.

In 2017, he made his television debut at the 2017 PDC World Darts Championship alongside Zoltan Mester, but they lost in the first round to John Part and John Norman Jr. of Canada. In 2019, he returned to the World Championship with his new partner Pal Szekely, but they again lost in the first round, this time against Max Hopp and Germany's Martin Schindler.

Constant increase in the PDC

Since Connor SCUTT 2014 appeared at the PDC for the first time, the Englishman has taken almost every event for which he is entitled to play. The start was a bit bumpy at first, five times a total of Scutt made it into prize money on the Development Tour 2014. After two more quiet years, he started the Q school in 2017. There he clearly missed a Tourcard, even at the UK Open qualification he did not come out about the preliminary round. In the later course of the year, the man from Kenley increased, but in 2018 the greater successes were also left out. In 2019 he waived the Q school and made it to a quarter-finals on the Development Tour for the only time in April. As a result, he qualified for the World Youth Championship, where he became second in the group. After a round of 16 at the Q-School 2020, he got into the same round at the third Challenge Tour event. As a successor, he took part in a Players Championship and defeated Robert Thornton there. The first event of the UK Challenge Tour 2021 completed Scutt in the semi -finals, as did the Event 9 and 10th to the final at the British Open 2021, which he lost to Scott Marsh in the Decider. With the Q-School 2022, he then won a tour card via the ranking. In the third Players Championship, SCUTT quickly made a look forward with a semi -finals. At his first UK Open, he missed round 4 to Matchdarts against William O'Connor. Despite the tour card, SCUTT started at the WDF World Championship due to an exception, but lost directly against Shawn Burt. His European Tour debut was lost with a WhiteWash against Josh Rock, in Zwolle he lost to Scott Waites at the beginning.

The Belgian Mario Vandenbogaerde has been in the darts business for a long time, but he has only really started since 2018. At the 2002 Antwerp Open, Vandenbogaerde reached the last eight, where he lost to Ronnie Baxter. A year later, he took part in the WDF World Cup for the first time, where he lost his opening match against Raymond van Barneveld. He competed regularly at the World Masters from 2003 to 2005, but never made it past the round of 128. In 2004, he finished in the last 32 at the WDF Europe Cup, and also reached the semifinals of the Belgium Open. After Vandenbogaerde was able to secure the Belgian championship title in 2005, he took a break from darts for the first time. A little out of nowhere, he then returned in 2018 with the final participation at the Belfry Open, where Jim Williams proved to be too strong. Two months later, however, the Belgian won the Luxembourg Masters and narrowly missed out on the title at the Antwerp Open. Vandenbogaerde could not qualify for the BDO World Championship, but at the World Masters it went to the last eight. In the final of the Italian Grand Masters, he narrowly lost to Wesley Harms 4:6, and in 2019, with the victory at the German Open in Kalkar, he followed his greatest career success to date. Vandenbogaerde also delivered consistently good performances afterwards and was therefore also present at the BDO World Trophy for the first time. At the start, he did not give Danish Brian Løkken a chance, but then lost to compatriot Roger Janssen in the round of eight. At the 2019 World Masters, Vandenbogaerde reached the semifinals, where he lost to the eventual winner John O'Shea.

In January 2020, the Belgian made his debut at the BDO World Championship, which began successfully with a 3:0 over Pole Sebastian Steyer. Vandenbogaerde also lost only one set against Dennie Olde Kalter before a 5-3 victory in the quarterfinals over David Evans followed. In the semifinals, however, the Belgian had to admit defeat with 4: 6 against Jim Williams. At the Dutch Open, he reached the eighth round before he also tried it for the first time at the Q-School. In mid-October, the Belgian was able to qualify for his first European Tour event with the International Darts Open. There he had to admit defeat in Round 1 with 1: 6 against Ross Smith. In 2021, the Q-School was again unsuccessful, followed by a year with only a few good results. In December, the Belgian qualified for the WDF World Championship 2022 via the qualifier. In mid-January, however, he got the tour card with very consistent performances at the Q-School in Niedernhausen. All the more surprising was his first-round exit at the UK Open after a poor performance. His second European Tour appearance in Hildesheim was also finished after round 1. Even in Zwolle, he did not get beyond his first match. In April, Vandenbogaerde made it to a quarter-final on the Pro Tour for the first time.

Carlo van Peer can make his first appearance on the PDC Pro Tour this weekend in Niedernhausen. He is the brother of PDC Tour Card holder Berry van Peer. Van Peer received an invitation after several Tour Card holders withdrew their participation in the two Players Championship tournaments in Germany. After cancellations of Tour Card holders, the highest ranked players on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit are called up as reserves. Van Peer is currently 30th on that ranking. Currently there are two other brothers active on the PDC circuit. The Austrian brothers Rowby-John and Rusty-Jake Rodriguez both have a PDC Tour Card and also play in the Players Championship tournaments.

As well as previously Kim and Ronny Huybrechts playing on the PDC Tour together as brothers and years back, Wes and Dale Newton.
