I'm overcome with the kindness of these invites. It has brought a tear to my eye.

Raymond van Barneveld is going to play the PDC Pro Tour in 2019. That’s needed to qualify for the 2020 PDC World Darts Championship and other big events next season.
As a result of his defeat to Darius Labanauskas in the second round of the World Championship, ‘Barney’ drops out of the top 25 on the world ranking after this tournament. This means his qualification for next years World Championship is in danger.
”I have considered everything. If I quit now, I might regret that choice for the rest of my life, then there is no way back anymore”, Van Barneveld told RTL7darts on Friday evening.
”It’s not an option for me to only play the World Series and Premier League Darts in 2019. I want to qualify for the World Championship and I will do everything for that. Even if I have to go deeper than deep for that, I won’t give up. I have to make some adjustments, mainly regarding the exhibition circuit. I’m going back to the floor events and hopefully I can show some good performances.”

He will do the first 4 floor events and then drip off, disappointed, with no money.

Re: Van Barneveld Announces Retirement Plans (PDC announcement)
Surely if he want Pro Tour ranking money for that OOM it would be better for him to do the Euro Tour. Most events are in Germany so he could drive or be driven rather than fly. Also the European qualifiers are much less challenging that even the 1st round of Pro Tours where being unseeded he could draw the likes of MVG or Wright.
Re: Van Barneveld Announces Retirement Plans (PDC announcement)
Erm, qualification for European Tour events will largely take place in the UK for continental players like van Barneveld next season.malcy93 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 6:40 pm Surely if he want Pro Tour ranking money for that OOM it would be better for him to do the Euro Tour.

Re: Van Barneveld Announces Retirement Plans (PDC announcement)
Looked it up and it seems that the UK and European qualifiers for ET will now both be played as separate comps the day before the Pro Tours. Only the host nation qualifier remains just before the event in the local country.DavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 10:07 pmWhat's happening with the Euro and Host Nation qualifiers then?Zeyes wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 9:56 pmErm, qualification for European Tour events will largely take place in the UK for continental players like van Barneveld next season.malcy93 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 6:40 pm Surely if he want Pro Tour ranking money for that OOM it would be better for him to do the Euro Tour.

I guess they have done this to force the European tour card holders to come to UK for the Pro Tour weekends rather than just letting them stay in mainland Europe and skip the Pro Tours.
One consequence should be those weekends with ET qualifiers attached should see less Pro Tour places from non attendees available for the Challenge Tour.
