PDC in 2025

Order of Merit rule changes

A number of PDC Order of Merit rules were changed at the start of the 2025 season. ^[1]

• The amount of seeded players at the World Grand Prix was increased from eight to sixteen.
• The seeding for the European Tour was reformed; the top sixteen players in the PDC Order of Merit received byes to the second round of each tournament, while the sixteen qualifiers from the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit played the remaining sixteen qualifiers in the first round.
• Players inside the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit were prohibited from competing on the 2025 Development Tour and Women's Series.
• The knockout stage of the World Youth Championship was expanded from 32 to 64, meaning two players would qualify from each group.

World Masters rebrand

Main article: 2025 PDC World Masters

The 2025 PDC World Masters was the first edition of the tournament, previously known as simply the Masters, under its new rebrand. The rebrand saw the event name changed to mirror the World Masters organised by the British Darts Organisation and later the World Darts Federation, adopting the tournament's format of set play over the best of three legs per set. It also became a ranked premier event for the first time, and preliminary rounds were introduced to determine eight qualifiers for the tournament, who joined the top 24 in the PDC Order of Merit. ^[2] The tournament was won by Luke Humphries. ^[3]

Broadcasting deals

The PDC and Sky Sports extended their partnership to broadcast darts in the United Kingdom and Ireland until 2030. ^[4] The organisation also agreed to a broadcasting deal with NBC Sports and its streaming service Peacock, starting from the 2025 Premier League Darts final. ^[5]

Increases to prize money and World Championship field in 2026

On 31 March, the PDC announced an mass increase in prize money for tournaments, starting from the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship, where the champion will receive a doubled top prize of £1,000,000 from a total prize fund of £5,000,000. The field for the World Championship also expanded from 96 to 128 players. The total amount of prize money on offer in PDC events in 2026 went up £7,000,000 from the 2025 season, along with increases for the PDC's secondary tours and a 50% rise in funding for PDC Global Affiliate Tours. ^[6]

Notes

1. Represents a player's three-dart average
2. The tournament is held across 17 different venues, with the finals being played in The O2 Arena.
3. The tie between Teemu Harju and Oskar Lukasiak was broken based on whoever achieved the better result in the last tournament. ^[147]
4. Both Asian Championship finalists had already qualified through the PDC Asian Tour. Accordingly, the qualifying spots reserved for the finalists were awarded to the highest unqualified players on the Asian Tour — Man Lok Leung (ranked sixth) and Paolo Nebrida (ranked seventh). ^[216]
5. Matt Campbell was ineligible to take the World Championship spot via the North American Championship due to PDC Rule 3.9, which states that players who have held a Tour Card for more than two years, or are inside the top 64 in the world, cannot use affiliate qualifiers to qualify for PDC events. The spot was awarded to the top-ranked non-qualified player from the CDC Pro Tour. ^{[43] [217]}
