What is to come in the PDC calendar?
The final 4 months of the PDC schedule is traditionally the time of year where the cream rises to the top and sees those struggling playing under the stress of maintaining their professional status. The bulk of the prizemoney is up for grabs with 5 majors but those hovering on the brink of losing their tourcard will be focussing their efforts on the protour events. Good results in the pro tour events could see them move into the top 64 for the players championship finals and possibly a World championship slot and hope of salvaging something from the year.
