PDC Tour Card
Summarize
Perspective
128 players were granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships events, the UK Open, qualifiers for all European Tours, as well as the qualifiers for the World Masters, World Series Finals, Grand Slam and the World Championship.
Tour Cards
The 128 2025 PDC Tour Cards are awarded to:[7]
- (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2025 World Championship.
- 56th-placed Steve Beaton resigned his Tour Card.[8] His spot went to the 65th ranked player, Nick Kenny.
- (28) 28 qualifiers from 2024 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.
- Leighton Bennett's Tour Card was removed as he had received an eight-year ban from competing in DRA-sanctioned events.
- Paul Krohne handed in his Tour Card.
- (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).
- Wessel Nijman, the other highest qualifier from the 2023 Development Tour, was in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit, and therefore, one extra Tour Card was awarded to a Q-School qualifier.
- (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 2025 Q-Schools.
Afterwards, the playing field was complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q-School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players was reached. In 2025, that means that a total of 21 additional players qualifed this way.[9][10]
Q-School
The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into the UK Q-School for British and Irish players, held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England;[11] and the European Q-School for the rest of European players, held at Wunderland Kalkar in Kalkar, Germany.[12] Non-European players can choose which Q-School to compete in.[13]
There are two stages in Q-School:[14][15]
- The First Stage, played between 6–8 January,[16] was entered by any darts player who registers to Q-School. The eight quarter-finalists from each of the three days qualified for the Final Stage alongside other players coming from a First Stage Order of Merit ranking to produce a full list of 128 players for each Final Stage.
- The Final Stage, held between 9–12 January, consisted of all players qualified from the First Stage plus the players exempted to the Final Stage. They are those who lost their PDC Tour Cards after the 2025 World Championship, and those who finished from third to sixteenth in the 2024 Challenge Tour and Development Tour Orders of Merit who did not have PDC Tour Cards yet.[17]
The winner of each day's play in the Final Stage was given a PDC Tour Card.
| UK Q-School | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| January 9 | January 10 | January 11 | January 12 |
|
|

| 128 players | 127 players | 126 players | 125 players |
| European Q-School | |||
| January 9 | January 10 | January 11 | January 12 |
| 128 players | 127 players | 126 players | 125 players |
To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, a ranking was created for each Q-School and a point was awarded for every win after the Last 64. Available Tour Card places for each Q-School were allocated in proportion to the total number of participants, with 9 cards going to the UK Q-School and 12 going to the European Q-School.
At the end of the fourth day in the Final Stage, based on their ranking, the following players picked up Tour Cards as a result:[26]
|
UK Q-School Order of Merit[33]
|
European Q-School Order of Merit[34]

Perspective

The Players Championship Order of Merit is determined based on the total prize money won by each player in the Players Championship events throughout the year. The top 64 players on this ranking qualify for the premier event Players Championship Finals.
