Gerwyn Price has failed to qualify for the Grand Slam of Darts after a disappointing 2024
Gerwyn Price has missed out on a place in this month’s Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts after failing to secure one of the eight spots on offer at the Tour Card Holder Qualifier in Leicester.The three-time Grand Slam champion initially suggested he would skip Friday’s qualifying event, reporting on Instagram after his European Darts Championship final exit last month he would only play the Players Championship Finals and the World Darts Championship this year.
Price headlined the strong 99-player line-up at the Mattioli Arena and fired a 101 average in his 5-2 win over Jurjen van der Velde, then despatched Robert Owen by the same margin to reach the last 16.
Victory over Mickey Mansell would have been enough to qualify for the Grand Slam of Darts from November 9-17, live on Sky Sports, but a 5-3 defeat means Price – a winner in 2018, 2019 and 2021 – will not feature in the event for the first time since 2015.Mansell joins James Wade, Cameron Menzies, Danny Noppert, Ross Smith, Ryan Joyce, Keane Barry and Martin Lukeman as the final eight qualifiers, with the final place in the 32-player field to be confirmed following the conclusion of the Winmau Challenge Tour this weekend.
