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

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 would 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]

Premier Events

The PDC Premier Events are a series of major professional darts tournaments organised by the PDC. These events are considered the most prestigious in the sport and contain the largest prize funds in the PDC.

Ranked

These events contribute to a player's ranking on the PDC Order of Merit. The prize money won in these tournaments is added to the player's total earnings over a two-year period, which determines their ranking.

ANZ Premier League

The ANZ Premier League (known for sponsorship reasons as the Dabble Darts PDC ANZ Premier League)[105] was announced by the PDC in December 2024.[106] The tournament consists of eight nights, held in arenas across Australia and New Zealand every Saturday between 4 October and 22 November. In a format similar to the PDC's Premier League Darts, the first seven nights of the ANZ Premier League see a knockout bracket featuring the eight participants take place. The top four players will then progress to Finals Night, where they will compete in a round-robin tournament, with the top two players advancing to the final.[107]

The tournament will include 2010 PDC World Championship runner-up Simon Whitlock, as well as seven other qualifiers from the DPA, DPNZ and ADA tours. The winner will qualify for the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship.[108]
