Gerwyn Price has been ruled out of featuring for defending champions Wales at the 2024 BetVictor World Cup of Darts due to health issues. Price partnered Jonny Clayton to victory over Scotland in last year's final, their second World Cup title after also beating England to victory in 2020, and had been due to compete again in the doubles event.
Under PDC Rules, with the World Cup of Darts draw having been made for the group stage, Wales retain their status as the second seeds and will enter the event in Saturday's second round at the Eissporthalle. The top four ranked nations receive a bye through the first round, based on the lowest cumulative PDC Order of Merit ranking of the two competing players, while the remaining 36 teams will be split into 12 groups of three and only the winners progress to the last 16.
