To supply for your family. All I do is I take my hat off to them.“They’re all earning a bundle of money. And no one really cares about what people think within reason.Wade launched into a bizarre rant as he compared the two sportsGettyGettyScheffler won his fourth major on Sunday and has spent 149 weeks as world No.1[/caption]“As long as you try your best when you’re at that stage, at that pinnacle of the game… you know.“It’s non-comparable. Golf players aren’t even close to being on the pressure or the pedestal that dart players are put upon.”Wade later sought clarity whether Scheffler was the current world number one, before continuing: “How does he get to a tournament?“Is it a private jet? Right. So when I get on an EasyJet flight… you’re laughing and joking, but seriously… he doesn’t have to get on a happy bus.“He doesn’t have to do all those things. It’s non-comparable, really. I think you should perhaps do what dart players do and see what they have to see, and do what they have to do, you know.“It’s quite amazing what dart players achieve when they don’t have all that up their bottom, you know. “Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to get in a private jet. I’d love to be in a backwards entrance in an airport.“But, you know, I’m a dart player. I will do EasyJet. I will do Ryanair. Because I am what I am.“Would you travel 12 hours to get to a floor tournament? Would you do that three times in a week? No, you wouldn’t.“So I think you should probably reflect… and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way.”Scheffler has topped the world rankings for a total of 149 weeks having first reached No.1 in March 2022.His win at Portrush also leaves him with four major titles at just 29-years-old.Wade, who is into the World Matchplay last eight, said he meant no disrespectGettyWade was keen to reiterate he meant no disrespect to the American, though, stating: “Sorry, I didn’t mean that in a rude way. That’s just how it really is.“There’s no PDC player that gets any special treatment. I wish I was. I wish I did.“If this guy wants to invite me on his private jet to go to a tournament, I’m your man. I might even wash his car before it.”As well as his World Matchplay triumph 18 years ago, Wade has also won the World Grand Prix, UK Open and European Championship.The four-time World Championship semi-finalist is also currently ranked eighth in the PDC world rankings.
