THE 14th edition of the World Cup of Darts will take place in Frankfurt THIS WEEK.
Last year Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton fired Wales to their second triumph in the tournament.
But the Welsh pair won't be competing alongside each other at the 2024 World Cup of Darts.
Why is Gerwyn Price not representing Wales at World Cup of Darts?
Gerwyn Price has pulled out of representing Wales at the World Cup of Darts just one day before the tournament begins in Frankfurt.
The world No 4 is the highest-ranked Welsh player in the PDC Order of Merit, which meant he was due to feature this week.

The 39-year-old withdrew from the event due to health issues and has been replaced by Jim Williams.
Price said: "I'm massively disappointed that I'm having to miss the World Cup and I always love representing Wales.
"I wish Jonny and Jim Williams the best of luck this weekend and hopefully they can bring back the title again!"
