#371: Brian Raman, Xanti Van den Bergh, World Series of Darts Finals and ProTour Reviews

Weekly Dartscast

Co-hosts Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode after the World Series of Darts Finals. The boys start the show by discussing who they think is the current favourite to win the next PDC World Darts Championship, following Luke Littler's latest triumph in Amsterdam at the weekend, and also reflect on Michael Smith's run to the final. Alex and Burton also give their thoughts on this week's Players Championship double header and pick out the players who caught their eye. The boys finish the show with an early look at the current list of international qualifiers for Ally Pally, before looking at who could qualify via the CDC rankings after this weekend's season finale. Brian Raman (16:02) calls in after winning the WDF-ranked Italian Open at the weekend. The Belgian reflects on his two years with a PDC tour card, having shoulder surgery at the end of 2023 and his comeback so far this year, getting back in the winners' enclosure in Italy last week, and his late push to qualify for Lakeside. Xanti Van den Bergh (50:18) also stops by after his run to the Italian Open final. The Belgian talks about growing up in a darting family, along with his older brother Dimitri, winning his first WDF ranking title at the Swedish Open last month, his friendship with Brian Raman, and his own goal of trying to qualify for the WDF World Championships.
