PDC Tour Card
128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships, UK Open Qualifiers and European Tour events.
Tour Cards
The 2018 Tour Cards are awarded to:[1]
- (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2018 World Championship.
- Phil Taylor resigned his card, and therefore, Martin Schindler moved into the top 64.
- (24) 24 qualifiers from 2017 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2016 Challenge Tour ( Rob Cross and Ryan Searle).
- Rob Cross is in the top 64 of the Order of Merit, and therefore, one extra Tour Card was awarded to a Q-School qualifier.
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2016 Development Tour ( Ross Twell and Aden Kirk).
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2017 Challenge Tour ( Wayne Jones and Mark Dudbridge).
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2017 Development Tour ( Luke Humphries and Dimitri Van den Bergh).
- Dimitri Van den Bergh is also in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit, and therefore, a Pro Tour Card was awarded to Adam Hunt, who finished third on the Development Tour Order of Merit.
- (12) The 12 qualifiers from the 2018 Qualifying Schools.
Afterwards, the playing field will be complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players had been reached. In 2018, that means that a total of 21 players will qualify this way.
Q-School
In a change to previous years, The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into a UK and European Q-School.[2] Players that are not from Europe can choose which Q-School they want to compete in.
- The UK Q-School took place at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan from 18–21 January.
- The European Q-School took place at the Halle 39 in Hildesheim from 18–21 January.
The following players won two-year tour cards on each of the days played:
January 18 | January 19 | January 20 | January 21 |
---|---|---|---|
UK Q-School | |||
435 contestants | 436 contestants | 430 contestants | 407 contestants |
European Q-School | |||
172 contestants | 174 contestants | 175 contestants | 156 contestants |
Total | |||
607 contestants | 610 contestants | 605 contestants | 563 contestants |
An Order of Merit was also created for each Q School. For every win after the first full round (without byes) the players get awarded 1 point.
To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, places were allocated down the final Qualifying School Order of Merits in proportion to the number of entrants. The following players picked up Tour Cards as a result:
