The 2025 PDC Development Tour (known for sponsorship reasons as the Winmau Development Tour) was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). A secondary tour to the PDC Pro Tour, it consisted of 24 tournaments, held over four weekends of five events and one weekend of four events.
The Development Tour is the PDC's youth system open to all players outside of the top 64 on the PDC Order of Merit that are aged 16–24.[1] According to PDC Order of Merit Rule 6.2,[2] from 2025, players ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit were no longer eligible to play in Development Tour events, a change from the previous rule that only prohibited top 32 players from competing.
Under PDC Order of Merit Rule 6.9, the 2025 Development Tour rewards were as follows:
- The top two players on the 2025 Development Tour Order of Merit, who had not obtained a PDC Tour Card for the 2026 season via another method, won a two-year Tour Card for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
- The top three players on the Development Tour Order of Merit, who had not qualified via another method, qualified for places at the 2026 PDC World Championship.
- The highest ranked player on the Development Tour Order of Merit, Cam Crabtree, received a spot at the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts.
- The players in the top 16 of the Development Tour Order of Merit, who had not obtained a PDC Tour Card before 2026 Qualifying School (Q–School), were granted free entry to the final stage of Q–School.
- The eight highest ranked players from the Development Tour Order of Merit, who did not earn a Tour Card for the 2026 season, qualified for the first round of the 2026 UK Open.
