BDO world champions plan to redress the PDC balance
- 5 years ago
BDO world champions past and present are determined to show their PDC counterparts they can compete at the 2017 Grand Slam of Darts.
Darts fever will sweep through the Black Country, with Sky Sports viewers watching live as fans pour into Wolverhampton Civic Hall.
New sponsors have come on board to back this year’s Grand Slam, with Austrian-based betting company Bwin replacing Thai brewers Singha Beer.
The only PDC tournament to formally invite players from the BDO again celebrates his 10th anniversary with the 11th edition at the Civic, the only venue it’s ever been held at.
One player from the BDO will feature in all of the eight groups with Glen Durrant in as the reigning boss, while Scott Mitchell was the 2014 champion.
Both are confident they can make waves after long being regarded at the poorer alternative, as they told Tungsten Tales reporter Craig Birch.
