By Ryan Segal Tom Sykes says he feels he can “do some damage” as he prepares for his first UK Open as a Tour Card Holder. The 33 year old from Yorkshire has taken to the professional tour like a duck to water, finding himself nestled in the qualifying spots for Minehead and Ally Pally after the first six Players Championship events. The Castleford Tiger admitted he was pleased with his start to life on the tour, saying: “I feel like it's going pretty well.  I've definitely started quite well.

By Ryan Segal Owen Bates has said the 'chaos' of the UK Open is what makes it magic, as he prepares for his third appearance in the tournament. The 23 year old, who has one of the shortest commutes of anyone to the event, is set to make his first major appearance of 2026 this coming weekend. He comes into the year on a new tour card, having earned another two years on the Pro Tour via his exploits on the Development Tour – something he says is a blessing in disguise: “I was definitely glad to start

By Ryan Segal February marked the beginning of the Players Championship season, as the race to Minehead in November got underway. James Wade was out of the blocks faster than anyone in Halle 39, romping home to the maiden title of the season. After a three year wait for his previous PC win, it was only a matter of months between that accolade and this, as he fended off Nathan Aspinall in the final to add £15,000 to his ranking. Players Championship 2 didn't quite see that success replicated, with

By Ryan Segal All at Team Unicorn are ecstatic to announce the signing of James Hurrell. 'Hillbilly' has become a staple of the professional scene since gaining his tour card, reaching five Players Championship Quarter-Finals since qualifying through the Q-School Order of Merit in 2024. In the last six months alone, he's reached the L16 at both the Players Championship Finals and World Championship, and made his debut in the main stage of the World Masters. We're thrilled to welcome him to the team

By Ryan Segal Greg Ritchie has said he can 'play without fear' in the second year of his tour card. The 31 year old Scotsman enjoyed a mixed first season on the Pro Tour, after gaining his maiden card through the Q-School Order of Merit. He showed glimpses of what he can do, including a 104.45 average against then reigning Grand Prix Champion Mike De Decker at Players Championship 24. He admits it wasn't quite the year he was hoping for – but he knows what was behind it: “Simply – I didn't practice

He says he's excited to get back to the stage - and that experience has played a key role in his return: "I always enjoy going and playing on the stage -  It's another chance

By Ryan Segal Adam Paxton has said 2025 wasn’t a ‘great year’ – but the building blocks are in place for a successful 2026. Pacman showed glimpses of what he can do in his debut season on the tour, but couldn’t find his magic touch consistently during the season. He summed up his 2025 by saying: “Not a great year. It could have been a lot better, in terms of performances and results. I was pleased to get on the European Tour, and qualify for Munich, but generally it wasn’t the best.” He explained

In the UK, Tom Sykes and Charlie Manby joined the top table for the first time, whilst in the EU, Jeffrey de Zwaan secured his return to the tour after a year

By Ryan Segal Tom Sykes says his first week as a tour card holder has been ‘mad’, following his qualification onto the Pro Tour. The 33 year old gained professional status for the first time in his career at 2026 Q-School, sealing an automatic tour card on Day 3. The Castleford Tiger has long been touted as one of the best players without a card – and the outpouring of support since has backed that up: “Yeah - it’s been mad. My phone’s been going mental for the last week. There’s been a big influx
