#450: Kevin Doets, Laura Turner, Austrian Darts Open & Players Championship Reviews

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after a busy last seven days on the ProTour. The boys kick off the show with a look back at this week's Players Championship double header in Leicester, which saw Andrew Gilding win his long-awaited first ProTour title, and Michael van Gerwen throw a 122 semi-final average on his way to a first ranking title in over a year. Kevin Doets (19:12) joins the show to reflect on winning his first ProTour title last week. The Dutchman chats about his victory in Players Championship 13, having his parents in the venue to see him win his first PDC senior tournament, becoming an automatic qualifier for the European Tour events, being on course for debuts in the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix this year, Ally Pally epics against Michael Smith, goals for the rest of 2026 and much more. The boys continue their review of the last seven days in darts by giving their thoughts on the weekend's European Tour action in Graz, which saw Josh Rock get back in the winners' enclosure with a victory in the Austrian Darts Open. Laura Turner (45:09) also calls in ahead of playing in the latest block of PDC Women's Series events this weekend. The Sky Sports commentator gives her thoughts on the women's number one Beau Greaves' latest historic feat, becoming the first female player to win a ProTour title, and what could be next for her, as well as the current Premier League season heading into the business end of the season. Laura also reflects on a title-winning appearance for England at the recent British Internationals, representing her country out in Korea at the WDF World Cup last year, and her plans for the rest of 2026 on the oche.
