2024 WDF Lakeside World Championship Fields

Following the conclusion of the final ranking events of the 2023/24 WDF season, the WDF can confirm the full player fields for the 2024 WDF World Championships.

Danny Porter, Beau Greaves, Paige Pauling and Jenson Walker will head to the iconic Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green as top seeds as we look to crown four World Champions between November 29th and December 8th.

Should any player withdraw from the Lakeside field before the draw on November 5th, they will be replaced in accordance with WDF rules and the seedings/draw pots will be adjusted accordingly. Should a player withdraw after the draw has been done, they will be replaced with the highest-ranked player on the Lakeside Race table not yet qualified. Should that player replace a seed but lose in their first game, they will only be entitled to first-round prize money and first-round ranking points.

Qualification for Lakeside was determined by the Race Tables but as with all tournaments, seeding is based on the Main Ranking Tables.
