The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) grants a Tour Card every year to 128 darts players, which allows them to compete in all PDC ProTour tournaments, those being all Players Championships and European Tours (or qualifiers to the later events in case the player has not automatically qualified). Additionally, holding a PDC Tour Card offers further benefits such as automatic qualifications for the UK Open or participation in the qualifying rounds for the World Darts Championship, Grand Slam and World Masters, among others.
PDC Tour Cards are valid for two years. The top 64 players in the PDC Order of Merit (OoM) and the players who won a card last year automatically receive Tour Cards for the rest of the year. Tour Cards can be removed if any player resigns it, do not compete in any ProTour event during their first year of their card, or have been banned for a period longer than the remaining duration of the card.
The top two players from last year's secondary tours (Challenge Tour and Development Tour), along with the players who earned a Tour Card at this year's UK & European Q-Schools, are awarded two-year long cards. All these players have their Order of Merit rankings reset to zero since the beginning of the season. [1]
