VINCENT VAN DER VOORT has withdrawn from Championship League Darts, with Andy Smith now coming in to compete in Group Four.
The Dutch ace had been due to enter the tournament next Tuesday when the internet-streamed event resumes with the fourth of eight groups.
However, he has pulled out of the event on medical advice as he continues to receive treatment after being diagnosed as lactose intolerant during the summer.
As a result, Andy Smith now comes in to play in Group Four, joining Paul Nicholson and Mervyn King - both former finalists - in making their seasonal debuts.
Phil Taylor, Simon Whitlock, Terry Jenkins, Dave Chisnall and Mark Walsh progress from Group Three to play next Tuesday.
Following van der Voort's withdrawal, Wayne Jones moves up to enter in Group Five, Colin Osborne completes Group Six, Richie Burnett will be the third player to come in for Group Seven and Steve Beaton will be the final player in Group Eight.
