New qualifying criteria for the PDC European Tour announced

The qualification format for the PDC European Tour tournaments is changing in 2024. The biggest change is that now the top-16 players in the world rankings will also automatically qualify for an event.

Thirteen tournaments will be held on the PDC European Tour in 2024. They will take place in Belgium, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. Each event has a prize pool of £175,000 and a field of 48 players.

PDC invests substantially more prize money in Players Championship tournaments

In past years, the top-16 of the Pro Tour Order of Merit were invited to a Euro Tour tournament. This will be the same in the upcoming season and they will enter the tournament from the second round.

However, the top-16 of the main PDC Order of Merit will also receive an invitation. They will have to start the tournament from the first round. As a result, there are fewer starting spots to be earned in the qualifying tournament for Tour Card holders. This number has been reduced from 24 to only 10 qualifying spots.

In addition, four more starting spots have been set aside for the Host Nation Qualifier. The Scandinavian/Baltic States and Eastern European countries also have one qualifying spot each to share.

Full list of UK Q-School 2024 participants including John Henderson, Devon Petersen, Fallon Sherrock, John Part and Richie Burnett

The sixteen various qualifiers and the players who qualify for the Euro Tour via the Order of Merit are drawn by random draw for the first round of a Euro Tour tournament. The winner of a first-round match then plays against a player from the top-16 of the Pro Tour ranking.

However, these players must win the match in order for the prize money to count toward the various rankings. The PDC chose this option because otherwise the difference between the top-16 players on the PDC Order of Merit and the remaining players could become too large.

These more than five hundred players are competing in the 2024 PDC European Q-School

Entries Now Open for 2024 Senior Open Presented by Rolex

Both exempt and non-exempt players can now enter for this year’s edition of The Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex .

The Championship will take place from July 25-28 at Carnoustie, which will play host for the third time in the event’s 37-year history.

Those without an exemption can now enter one of four Qualifying Events set to be staged on the East Coast of Scotland. The venues – each of which lie within 20 miles of Carnoustie Golf Links – include Downfield Golf Club in Dundee, Panmure Golf Club in Carnoustie, the Medal Course at Monifieth Golf Links and the 1562 course at Montrose Golf Links.

Each venue boasts a strong pedigree having hosted both Open Final Qualifying and Senior Open Qualifying in previous years.

There will also be a Qualifying Event held in the United States at Firestone Country Club on Monday July 8 and administered by the PGA TOUR Champions, for which entries are now also open.

David Williams, Tournament Director of The Senior Open Presented by Rolex, said: “It’s very exciting to open qualifying for this year’s edition of The Senior Open Presented by Rolex. This marks the start of a three-month process that will culminate in the winner being crowned at Carnoustie’s legendary Championship Course in July.

“The four Qualifying venues will present a tricky challenge to the players hoping to reach this year’s Championship. Given the proximity of all four venues to the Angus Coastline, they will also offer ideal preparation to those who earn one of the available spots in the field.”

To be eligible for entry, players must be either male Professionals with a current Tour affiliation or PGA Membership, or male Amateurs with an exact handicap index of 0.4 (scratch) or lower under the World Handicap System, or the scheme adopted by the recognised authority controlling golf in their country.

Superb Schindler lifts maiden PDC title in Riesa

Martin Schindler produced a stunning performance to end Gerwyn Price's dominance in Riesa and secure NEO.bet International Darts Open glory on home soil on Sunday. Schindler, spurred on by a bumper crowd at the WT Energiesysteme Arena, denied Price a record-extending fifth International Darts Open crown, running out an 8-5 winner to become the third German player to win a senior PDC title. The 27-year-old – a steward on the PDC European Tour a decade ago – was overcome by emotion on a night which also saw him crowned as Germany’s new number one. Having eased past his compatriot Jan Dueckers in Friday’s first round, Schindler sealed his spot in Finals Day with a superb 6-3 success against Joe Cullen, averaging 105 in the process. The 27-year-old then won through contrasting encounters against Dutch duo Richard Veenstra and Danny Noppert, and he sealed his place in Sunday’s showpiece with a resounding 7-3 win over Chris Dobey. This set up a fascinating showdown against Price, who was chasing a third consecutive title in Riesa, having also lifted this title in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023. Price dominated the opening exchanges, kicking off the contest with six perfect darts and drawing first blood with an 11-dart break, on his way to establishing a 2-0 lead. Schindler responded with three straight legs to seize the initiative, although the pendulum continued to swing as Price hit back with legs of 15 and 13 darts to edge 4-3 ahead. However, the diminutive German restored his lead with clinical 80 and 120 checkouts, and after winning a scrappy tenth leg via double two, he fired in a magnificent ten-darter to move to the brink of victory. Price preserved his hopes with a brilliant 12-dart hold, but Schindler wasn’t to be denied, taking out 48 in two darts to clinch his maiden senior title on home soil.

"My knees are shaking right now," claimed a tearful Schindler, who climbs to a career-high of world number 22.

"It's just crazy. I've been playing this tour for seven to eight years now. It's been such a long journey, and now I'm standing here with one of these beautiful trophies.

"I could never have dreamed of this ten years ago, but I have worked so hard for this, I've invested so much and right now, I might just be the happiest man on earth.

"I want to be one of the best dart players in the world, and when you win a title on the European Tour, I think you are one of the best.

"My main priority for me was to improve my ranking for the World Matchplay and the World Grand Prix and that went completely to plan. I'm so happy about that, and I'm so happy to win this trophy."

Price had won 20 of his last 21 matches at this event prior to this weekend, and he continued his incredible record in Riesa to pocket the £12,000 runner-up prize. The Welshman fended off a resilient Brendan Dolan in his second round tie on Saturday, before powering in an astonishing 115.74 average – a new tournament record – to dispatch Ricardo Pietreczko in round three. Price then fought back from 5-2 down to deny Ross Smith in the last eight – aided by a sensational 161 skin-saver in leg nine – and he followed this up with a hard-fought victory over Stephen Bunting in the semi-finals. “I’m a little bit disappointed in myself,” reflected Price, who was featuring in his tenth European Tour final. “I felt I should have won this game, but fair play to Martin, he’s a fantastic player and he played well there.” Bunting reeled off four straight legs from 4-2 adrift to deny world number one Luke Humphries in the last 16, and he survived a match dart in his quarter-final tie against Ritchie Edhouse in his run to the semi-finals. Dobey also continued his fine form with a semi-final showing, after averaging 111.19 in his second round victory over Krzysztof Ratajski on Saturday. The former Masters champion then whitewashed home favourite Gabriel Clemens to progress to the last eight, where he averaged 104 in a 6-2 thrashing of Ryan Searle.

Searle came through deciding-leg ties against Daryl Gurney and Damon Heta in his run to the quarter-finals, while Edhouse dumped out Premier League duo Michael Smith and Rob Cross to reach the same stage. Noppert – a Players Championship winner on Tuesday – swept aside World Matchplay champion Nathan Aspinall in his last 16 encounter, while Ross Smith battled back to defeat Cameron Menzies earlier in the day. The PDC European Tour continues from April 19-21 with the NEO.bet European Darts Grand Prix in Sindelfingen. For tickets, visit the PDC Europe website . The tournament will be broadcast live on PDCTV, exclusively on DAZN in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, through Viaplay in various territories and through bookmakers' websites worldwide.
