Gerwyn Price has slammed Thursday’s Premier League Darts Night 11 in Rotterdam as “pointless,” claiming “darts were blowing everywhere” due to a draft at the venue.

The Welshman, who went down 6-3 to Nathan Aspinall in the quarter-finals, went on to say the PDC should look elsewhere in the future.

Posting on Instagram, Price said: “Gutted for myself, gutted for everyone that supports me. I’m so sorry but this week was pointless and we move to next week.

“Darts were blowing everywhere and after leg one, which was lucky, I knew it’s pointless. And where I was in the league after vital points it’s not what I wanted.

“Hopefully PDC will now stop coming here and look for alternative venues. Not good for the players, not good for the fans and not good for people that like a bet.

“Onto next week where we get to play in decent conditions. And if you think it’s the same for both players, you’re as daft as you look.

“How can it be different for each player? Eerrrrrrm heavier darts, difference size flights, longer stems, thicker flights, firmer throw.

“Nathan played better and handled the conditions way better. I’m playing the best darts I’ve played for months/years, just forget this one and move. See you in Munich.”

PDC chiefs acknowledged the situation in a statement, saying: “We have worked hard with the venue to minimise the effect of any air movement, which has been acknowledged by a number of players in tonight’s event, who have said that conditions have improved from previous years.”

Speaking about the draft last year, Van Gerwen said: “I had a good chat with Matt Porter [PDC CEO] about this. They couldn’t put their finger on why it’s like this. So they did something.

“They made big curtains to watch in between, because this arena is split into two sides, the bottom one and the upper one, in between you can feel the draft towards it. But they’re closing off one side, they hope it’s going away.

“At least they’re doing something against it. Sometimes you can’t put your finger on it as well. It’s tough, but at least they’re working on it.”

2026 NFL Draft No. 1 overall pick odds: Arch Manning leads the way as favorite

Getty Images The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books, meaning our beloved draft sickos can turn their attention to the 2026 NFL Draft. Quarterbacks have been the No. 1 overall pick in three straight drafts. Will that trend continue next year?Some wonder if the 2026 quarterback class will be better than the 2025 class but it's impossible to predict. We've seen the projected top quarterback struggle, while a dark horse emerges to claim that title -- like Cam Ward did this past season. There are some big names who will be eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft, but it remains to be seen if they can live up to the hype in 2025. Maybe a non-quarterback will put together a dominant 2025 campaign, like Travon Walker and Myles Garrett did in their final collegiate seasons, or a dominant offensive tackle […]

Prisco’s NFL Draft 2025 grades for every team, including best and worst picks for all 32 franchises

Keytron Jordan, CBS Sports Since taking over as the general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014, Jason Licht's draft picks have been as good as any in the league, yet Licht doesn't get the due he deserves for his drafting prowess.It's time he does. Licht's Bucs had another outstanding draft this year, one of the best in fact. Tampa Bay received one of the three "A" grades I gave out this year. The other two went to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs, both teams doing some impressive things over the seven rounds, including Jacksonville's bold move to go up to No. 2 to get Travis Hunter, the best player in the draft. These draft grades are immediate, so I know they are infuriating for some. But our bosses love them -- and you eat them up. So we […]

2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson predictions, free picks: Ben Griffin among longshots to back at TPC Craig Ranch

Imagn Images To call Scottie Scheffler an overwhelming favorite doesn't seem to justify the state of the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson odds. Scheffler, the world's No. 1-ranked golfer, is a +280 favorite to win the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson, which begins on Thursday, May 1, at TPC Craig Ranch. A $100 bet on Scheffler wins $280, which is less than 20% of what a wager on any other winning golfer pays out at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2025. Jordan Spieth has the second-shortest odds at 18-1 in the latest CJ Cup Byron Nelson betting odds. For those who enjoy betting on longshots in PGA Tour events, this is the ideal event for you, as only eight golfers in the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson field have odds of 30-1 or lower to win.Just because a golfer has […]

ACC considering reducing conference basketball schedule to help boost the league’s NCAA Tournament profile

Imagn Images The ACC is strongly considering reducing its conference schedule so teams can schedule more marquee nonconference games and improve the league's chances of landing more at-large teams in the NCAA Tournament, CBS Sports has learned. Commissioner Jim Phillips, the conference's athletics directors and ESPN have been in active discussions to move from 20 conference games to 18 starting with the 2025-26 season, sources told CBS Sports. The expectation among administrators is that the proposal will be approved when the league's administrators meet in May for its annual spring meetings in Florida, sources said. The ACC declined to comment Monday when reached by CBS Sports. New face, new place, big wins: Here were the best Year 1 coaches in college basketball for the 2024-25 season Matt Norlander The 18-game proposal discussed by the ACC's administrators would consist of one […]

The Luka Dončić trade alone won’t make the Lakers title contenders: Why JJ Redick went all-in

With the Lakers’ season very likely on the line on Sunday — down three at half on the road against the tough-as-hell Timberwolves, just 24 minutes away from either snatching back home-court advantage or falling into a 3-1 hole that NBA teams climb out of just 4.5% of the time — L.A. head coach JJ Redick decided to damn the torpedoes. No more Gabe Vincent, Jarred Vanderbilt or Jordan Goodwin, who’d gone scoreless in the first half of Game 4. No more Jaxson Hayes, who’d produced more personal fouls (eight) than points (seven) through the first three-plus games of the series.Redick would roll the rest of the way with LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith — the only five guys he felt like he could trust to create and make shots against an excellent Minnesota […]

Carlo Ancelotti, técnico do Real Madrid, aceita proposta da seleção brasileira, afirma Fabrizio Romano

Conforme apuração do jornalista Fabrizio Romano, especialista em mercado da bola, Carlo Ancelotti chegou a um acordo com a CBF para comandar a amarelinha. O acerto seria imediato, com Ancelotti assumindo o Brasil no começo de junho, antes mesmo do Mundial de Clubes da Fifa.
