The 2025 PDC Development Tour (known for sponsorship reasons as the Winmau Development Tour) was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). A secondary tour to the PDC Pro Tour, it consisted of 24 tournaments, held over four weekends of five events and one weekend of four events.
The Development Tour is the PDC's youth system open to all players outside of the top 64 on the PDC Order of Merit that are aged 16–24. [1] According to PDC Order of Merit Rule 6.2, [2] from 2025, players ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit were no longer eligible to play in Development Tour events, a change from the previous rule that only prohibited top 32 players from competing.
Under PDC Order of Merit Rule 6.9, the 2025 Development Tour rewards were as follows:
The prize money for the Development Tour events remained the same as in 2023 and 2024. £360,000 was the total prize fund, with £15,000 being the prize fund for each of the 24 events. The winner of each event received £2,500. The prize fund breakdown was:
| Stage (no. of players) | Prize money (Total: £15,000) | |
|---|---|---|
| Winner | (1) | £2,500 |
| Runner-up | (1) | £1,000 |
| Semi-finalists | (2) | £750 |
| Quarter-finalists | (4) | £500 |
| Last 16 | (8) | £300 |
| Last 32 | (16) | £200 |
| Last 64 | (32) | £75 |
