With a long way to go, current world champion Glen Durrant is sitting on top of the BDO rankings with Mark McGeeney and Jim Williams following.

“We’re still three months away from the 45th Winmau World Masters, but already players are jostling for position,” says Winmau’s sales and marketing director, Ian Flack.

“With such a high standard of darts, they don’t want to have to battle their way through the floor stages.

“The Winmau World Masters and Lakeside World Championships are the titles everyone on the WDF circuit wants to win. I’m sure Bridlington will do us proud again this year.”

Ticket information will be available on the Bridlington Spa website shortly: www.bridspa.com
