We are excited to announce that we are sponsors of PDC darts star Simon ‘The Wizard’ Whitlock.
Simon is the most successful player in Australian darting history and is currently world ranked 16 having won 17 career PDC titles so far. He was runner up in the World Championship Final in 2009 losing out to Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor and is also a member of the Nine Dart Club, achieved in a televised Premier League match versus Andy Hamilton in 2012.
Darts is experiencing a phenomenal boom in terms of interest, and its televised viewing figures are now second only to Premier League football for its major host broadcaster Sky Sports. The PDC (Professional Darts Corporation) are set to continue their continental growth next year, with the introduction of a Premier League night in Germany, a European Qualifying School and a European Tour event in Copenhagen being confirmed on the 2018 PDC Calendar.
People have great fun at the events, it brings together a fantastic mix of people and personalities, as anyone who has witnessed the World Championships at Alexandra Palace will have seen.
As the tour moves around the UK and Europe in the coming months we are delighted that the CEL Electrical brand will be worn by Simon and we will be following his fortunes closely so stay tuned for more.
This weekend sees Simon taking part in the 2017 Dutch Dart Masters in Maastricht who as a seeded player will enter at the Second Round stage on Saturday.
