Arron Monk and Andy Jenkins sealed their places in September’s German Darts Masters after coming through the UK qualifier on Friday evening.
The MODUS pair were amongst 20 players who made it through to the fourth European Tour event in Stuttgart, where they will join the top 32 from the PDC Order of Merit, with the final places being made up from the European and Home Nation qualifiers.
Former under-21 World Champion Monk won through to the £80,000 tournament with a 6-3 triumph over Paul Rowley, after receiving a bye in the first round.
Jenkins started his qualifying campaign by defeating Andy Relf 6-1 before booking his place in Germany with a 6-4 success over Mark Jones.
The fourth European Tour event, the German Darts Masters, will be held at the Glaspalast in Sindelfingen, Stuttgart from September 7-9.
The draw is expected to be made on Sunday, once all qualifiers have been completed.

James Wade produced a brilliant run to his fifth Blackpool final in seven attempts, before eventually being edged out by Phil Taylor in the Betfair World Matchplay on Sunday evening.

‘The Machine’ pushed Taylor hard in a close run affair but was unable to prevent ‘The Power’ from clinching the £100,000 title for the thirteenth time, with the world number one running out an 18-15 winner.
“I have practised hard for weeks but I wasn’t in full flow tonight,” said Wade, who triumphed at The Winter Gardens in 2007.
“Getting 15 legs off Phil in the final is massive but I don’t see coming second as a good week’s work.
“I will continue to work hard and put more into this game though. I’m old enough now to realise that it’s what I’ll have to do to be the best.”
Wade showed some fantastic form throughout the tournament, defeating Richie Burnett and Mark Walsh with apparent ease in the first two rounds.
The world number three saw off the challenge of nine-dart hero Michael van Gerwen in the last eight before sealing victory over Terry Jenkins with six ton-plus finishes to reach the final, where he battled hard but was unable to topple Taylor.
‘The Power’ admitted that it could have been a different story after Wade was denied checkouts of 140 and 144 by the width of the wire in crucial legs.
“James was fantastic and has been all week,” said Taylor
“If those shots had gone in, he would have won.
“That was the nerveiest final I have ever played in.”
