Players Championship Finals draw confirmed with Littler not in field

The draw for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead has been set following the conclusion of the ProTour events; top 64 from the ProTour have qualified for event which takes place on November 27-29

The Players Championship Finals draw has been confirmed, with Luke Littler not defending his title in Minehead.

Littler did not enter enough behind-closed doors Players Championship events this year to give himself a realistic chance of being in the top 64 on the ProTour ranking to qualify for the last tournament before the World Darts Championship.

Josh Rock and Nathan Aspinall were among the other stars to miss out but all of darts' other big names have qualified, with Dutchman Wessel Nijman the top seed as he won six Players Championship events this year.

Nijman will face England's Henry Coates, who was the final qualifier, in the first round while tournament favourite Luke Humphries goes up against Darryl Pilgrim.
