2023 PDC Pro Tour

The 2023 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). Players Championships and European Tour events are the events that make up the Pro Tour. There were thirty Players Championship events and thirteen PDC European Tour events, as well as 24 events for the Challenge and Development Tours, and the Women's Series.^[1]

On 21 November 2022, it was announced that the prize money for the Women's Series will be doubled in 2023.^[2]

The following day, it was announced that the prize money for Challenge/Development Tour events would also increase, with the prize fund going up from £10,000 to £15,000 per event.^[3]

On 15 February 2023, it was announced that the prize money for the PDC European Tour events was to increase by 25% with prize funds increasing from £140,000 to £175,000 per event.^[4]

PDC Tour Card

128 players were granted Tour Cards, which enabled them to participate in all Players Championship events, the UK Open and qualifiers for all European Tour and select televised events.^[5]

Tour cards

Main article: List of players with a 2023 PDC Tour Card

The 2023 Tour Cards were awarded to:^[5]

• (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2023 World Championship.
• (30) 30 qualifiers from 2022 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.
• (1) The winner of the 2021 UK Challenge Tour (Jim Williams).
  • Jim Williams was also in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit, and therefore, one extra Tour Card was awarded to a Q-School qualifier.
• (1) The winner of the 2021 European Challenge Tour (Matt Campbell).
• (1) The winner of the 2021 UK Development Tour (Bradley Brooks).
• (1) The winner of the 2021 European Development Tour (Rusty-Jake Rodriguez).
• (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2022 Challenge Tour (Robert Owen and Danny van Trijp).
• (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2022 Development Tour (Geert Nentjes and Jurjen van der Velde).
• (8) The daily winners from the 2023 Q-Schools.

Afterwards, the playing field was complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q-School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players has been reached. In 2023, that meant a total of 19 additional players qualified this way.

Q-School

The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into a UK and European Q-School. Players that are not from Europe could choose which Q-School to compete in.

Q-School was once again split into two stages; with all players who lost their tour cards after the 2023 World Championship and the players who finished from third to sixteenth in the 2022 Challenge Tour and Development Tour Orders of Merit exempted to the final stage. The first stage consisted a block of three days, with the last eight players on each day qualifying into the final stage. A ranking of other players was also produced with players qualifying via that ranking to produce a full list of 128 players for each final stage.^[6]

Stage One took place between 9–11 January; with the Final Stage being held between 12 and 15 January. The winner of each day's play in the Final Stage received a PDC Tour Card.

The UK Q-School was held at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, England; with the European Q-School held at Wunderland Kalkar in Kalkar, Germany.

Jeffrey Sparidaans[7]	Corey Cadby[8]	Jeffrey de Zwaan[9]	Robbie Knops[10]
127 players	125 players	123 players	106 players

An Order of Merit was created for each Q School. For every win after the Last 64, the players were awarded 1 point.

To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, places were allocated down the final stage Q-School Order of Merits in proportion to the number of participants, with 9 cards going to the UK Q-School and 10 going to the European Q-School.

The following players picked up Tour Cards as a result:

UK Q-School Order of Merit[10] Dylan Slevin Lee Evans Stephen Burton Nick Kenny Keegan Brown Adam Warner Graham Hall Callum Goffin Christian Perez

European Q-School Order of Merit[10] Maik Kuivenhoven Richard Veenstra Niels Zonneveld Pascal Rupprecht Ronny Huybrechts Karel Sedláček Jacques Labre Daniel Klose Gian van Veen Owen Roelofs

PDC Asian Tour

Following a break of three years, the PDC Asian Tour returned in 2023 with an expanded tour consisting of 24 events held over 8 weekends. The first 15 events were confirmed on 10 November 2022, with the remaining 9 confirmed at a later date.^[132] The top four players from the final 2023 PDC Asian Tour Order of Merit qualified for the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship.

The Asian Championship also returned, this time taking place in Shimonoseki between 5–8 October.^[133] The PDC Asian Championship winner and runner-up will also qualify, and if either or both players have already qualified from the PDC Asian Tour Order of Merit then the place(s) would be passed to the next-best-placed non-qualified player from the PDC Asian Championship (split by PDC Asian Tour OOM if required using standard PDC countback rules). In addition, the best-placed non-qualified Japanese player from the PDC Asian Championship (if no Japanese player reaches the final) will also qualify for the World Championship, with any ties to be split by PDC Asian Tour OOM if required using standard PDC countback rules. If one or both of the PDC Asian Championship finalists are Japanese, this place will pass to the PDC Asian Tour Order of Merit.^[134]

The last two places were occupied by the PDC China Premier League qualifiers, which were held between June and August, with a final playoff at the end, and an Indian Qualifier from an event taking place on 28 October 2023.^[135]
