A PDC statement read: “Gerwyn Price has withdrawn from Thursday’s BetMGM Premier League night in Aberdeen as he continues to struggle with a back problem.
“2021 World Champion Price was unable to compete in last weekend’s Austrian Darts Open after suffering a trapped nerve in his back.
“The Welshman has undergone treatment since last Friday but has not recovered sufficiently to travel to Scotland to take part in Night 14 at P&J Live.
“Under tournament rules, Price’s planned quarter-final opponent in Aberdeen, Luke Humphries, now receives a Bye into the semi-finals on Thursday, as well as gaining two league points and +1 leg difference.
“Price, meanwhile, receives -6 leg difference on the league table.”
