Darren Webster will compete in the Ladbrokes Players Championship Finals this weekend following the withdrawal of Mensur Suljovic from the event.
Austrian ace Suljovic had been set to be the 19th seed in the Players Championship Finals, which is being held from November 27-29 at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, but has withdrawn following a family bereavement.
Under PDC rules, Suljovic is replaced directly in the draw by the next-ranked player from the Players Championship Order of Merit, meaning that Webster now plays Jeffrey de Zwaan in round one on Friday.
Webster is a former semi-finalist in the event, having enjoyed his best run a televised event at the 2016 tournament in Minehead.
