In the last 5 years Mervyn King has thrown the highest average at the World Series of Darts Finals and lost in an epic final of the Masters. Simon Whitlock won the World Cup. Devon Petersen won an ET with a 100+ tournament average and Glen Durrant won the Premier League. All of them no longer have a PDC tour card. 

A stark reminder of how tough it is to stay at the top. 

Well done to all those who got their tour cards and good luck to those who are starting or restarting their journey to get one back.
