Jose De Sousa claimed a 16-12 victory over James Wade to win the Grand Slam of Darts on his tournament debut and become the first Portuguese player to win a PDC major televised title.

 

A 16-12 victory over nine-time major champion Wade caps a remarkable and whirlwind 18 months for the 46-year-old, who has won three ranking titles since last September but now has a PDC major, the £125,000 first prize, a place in the world's top 16 and the Eric Bristow Trophy to his name.

There is a good chance that around 1,000 fans per session will be allowed to attend the PDC World Darts Championship this year after Thursday's Tier announcement by the UK Government.

 

Regions in Tier 1 in the United Kingdom are where the infections are at their lowest also known as medium with risk still there but it will be like when the country first started to remove Lockdown restrictions.

 

This includes the rule of six, pubs and restaurants shutting at 11pm but with the added caveat of spectators being allowed at live events. This is the same with tier two but no household mixing is allowed.

 

But with Tier 3 being the only one which will not allowed live events, the announcement that London will be in Tier 2 gives the hope for the showpiece event to have fans.

 

In order to get fans admitted to the tournament, the PDC and Alexandra Palace are currently working in collaboration to set up a plan for safety rules.
