Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen have withdrawn from this weekend’s SUPERBET Poland Darts Open due to medical reasons.
The 2026 European Tour gets underway with the inaugural staging of the Poland Darts Open in Krakow from February 20-22, with world number one Luke Littler and 2023/24 World Champion Luke Humphries amongst the star attractions.
However, Price withdrew from this weekend’s event due to medical reasons following Night Three of the BetMGM Premier League on Thursday, while Van Gerwen has been unable to recover from the medical issue that ruled him out of Premier League action in Glasgow and pulled out on Friday morning.
Price has been replaced in this weekend’s 48-player field by former World Champion Michael Smith, while two-time World Championship quarter-finalist Callan Rydz takes Van Gerwen’s place in Krakow.
As both withdrawals came after the draw was announced, Smith and Rydz are direct replacements in the draw, and will therefore enter the tournament in round two on Saturday.
