Professional Darts Corporation
It may not be all that appealing to Americans, but professional darts is a big deal in Europe. Rowdy fans pack venues to watch guys flick darts from 7 feet, 9 1/4 inches. It’s mostly just an excuse to get really, really drunk, but whatever.
There will be no rowdy crowds when the Professional Darts Corporation resumes competition this weekend—and the field will be missing a former world champ.
The PDC Home Tour will feature 32 consecutive nights of competition, with players joining remotely from their homes. Two players have already been forced to withdraw from the event, though, because their home WiFi connections aren’t up to snuff.
