MADARS RAZMA was left amused after arriving in Leicester to compete in qualifiers—only to discover he had already secured a spot in the Austrian Darts Open at the Premstättner Halle in Graz.   

The Latvian star shared his amusing mix-up on social media, revealing that he had turned up expecting to play but was nowhere to be found in the tournament bracket. 

World No. 44 Razma wrote on X: “Sometimes you need to read the PDC news.  

“I arrive at venue to play the qualifiers, but I don’t find myself in the tournament.  

“And then you find out that you are already in Graz.” 

One fan replied: “So they do not inform you about that fact?” 

‘Razmatazz’ responded: “I don’t think they need to do it.. Everyone can open the PDC website and read this. 

“And believe me, I don’t care. Finally rule changes did something good for me.” 

The 36-year-old reached his second Euro Tour semi-final last year at the Baltic Sea Open securing impressive wins over Chris Dobey and Joe Cullen along the way. 

Razma has had a steady start to 2025 reaching the last four of the Players Championship Six before succumbing 7-1 to eventual tournament winner Gian van Veen who picked up his first PDC senior title on the ProTour.
