Chisnall’s comments highlight the debate surrounding wildcard picks in darts tournaments, with some players feeling that performance on the oche should be the sole criteria for selection. As the Premier League Darts 2025 season approaches, it will be interesting to see how the chosen players fare and if their inclusion is justified based on their darts performance alone.
But we feel these players bring something special to the table in terms of entertainment value and fan engagement. It’s not just about their skill on the dartboard, but also about how they can electrify a crowd and create an unforgettable atmosphere. That’s what sets them apart and makes them deserving of a wildcard spot in the prestigious weekly roadshow.”
