- ^ Last 64 prize money will only be paid out, if a minimum of 128 participants take part in a Women's Series event.
PDC Tour Card
[edit]128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships events, the UK Open and qualifiers for all European Tour and select televised events.
Tour cards
[edit]The 2025 Tour Cards will be awarded to:
- (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2025 World Championship.
- (??) ?? qualifiers from 2024 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from the 2023 Challenge Tour (Berry van Peer and Owen Bates).
- (1) Highest qualifier from the 2023 Development Tour (Nathan Rafferty).
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from the 2024 Challenge Tour (Wesley Plaisier and Christian Kist).
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from the 2024 Development Tour (Niko Springer and Sebastian Białecki).
- (8) The daily winners from the 2024 Q-Schools.
Afterwards, the playing field will be complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q-School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players has been reached. In 2024, that means that a total of ?? additional players will qualify this way.
Q-School
[edit]The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into a UK and European Q-School. Players that are not from Europe can choose which Q-School they want to compete in.
Q-School will once again be split into two stages; with all players who lost their tour cards after the 2025 World Championship and the players who finished from second to fourth in the 2024 Challenge Tour and Development Tour Orders of Merit exempted to the final stage. The first stage consisted a block of three days, with the last eight players on each day qualifying into the final stage. A ranking of other players will also be produced with players qualifying via that ranking to produce a full list of 128 players for each final stage.
Stage One will place between 6–8 January; with the Final Stage held between 9–12 January. The winner of each day's play in the Final Stage were given a PDC Tour Card.
The UK Q-School was held at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, England; with the European Q-School held at Wunderland Kalkar, Kalkar, Germany.
Players Championships
[edit]There will be an increase of four Players Championship events in 2025, meaning that there will be 34 Players Championship events in 2025.
