#462: Henry Coates, Derek Coulson, ProTour and Development Tour Reviews

<div> <div>Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the latest Players Championship double header.</div> <div> </div> <div>The boys kick off the show with a look back at last week's ProTour action in Hildesheim, which saw Henry Coates become just the fifth non tour-card holder to win a Players Championship title, and Sebastian Bialecki double his own ProTour title tally to take a big step towards a debut at the World Grand Prix later this season.</div> <div> </div> <div>Henry Coates (21:40) calls in to reflect on a memorable week in Germany last week, winning his first PDC senior title at Players Championship 25. The 20-year-old looks back on his career so far, from playing in his local pub league at eight years old to captaining an England team that included Luke Littler to JDC World Cup glory in Gibraltar. Henry chats about his experiences as a top up player on the ProTour over the last 12 months, his eye-catching run to a semi-final earlier this summer, and then his breakthrough run in Hildesheim last week and becoming the youngest non tour-card holder to win a Players Championship in the tour card era.</div> <div> </div> <div>Alex and Burton continue their recap of last week's action in Germany with a look back at the latest five event block of Development Tour events, picking out the players who caught their eye over the weekend.</div> <div> </div> <div>Derek Coulson (46:22) joins the show to look back on a landmark victory in Champions Week at the MODUS Super Series. The Welshman reflects on a dramatic finals night at the cathedral of darts, which included a nine-dart shootout, and going on to beat Ashley Coleman in the final to add his name to the Champions Week roll of honour. Derek also chats about his recent appearances as a top up player on the ProTour, being in the hunt for a PDC tour card and PDC World Darts Championship debut via the Challenge Tour rankings, and explains why he switched to the Condor 120 three-fin flights and it being a big part of his success so far in 2026.</div> <div> <div> </div> <div>The boys wrap up the show by discussing the recent confirmation from the PDC chief executive Matt Porter on this show that the PDC will be introducing a new major ranking event on the calendar in the first half of 2027.</div> <div> </div> </div> </div> <p>***</p> <p><a href="https://thedjd.com/products/alex-moss-jersey">Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!</a> A % of the profits will be donated to <a href= "https://specialfunds.bcrt.org.uk/ethan-king/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacPIFkdYcnkjDqJ7h7_Mh3-wkw--K7ybHnt2y4UhefaanI5-u6pJyB8s9Wk-A_aem_6crm6320jks3XqWcFtYKYA"> The Ethan King Fund for Ewing Sarcoma Research</a></p> <p>***</p> <p>This podcast is brought to you in association with <a href= "https://www.dartscorner.co.uk/">Darts Corner</a> - the number one online darts retailer!
