The PDC Players Championship has expanded for the 2019 season.
With UK Open qualifiers now scrapped, the number of Players Championship events has risen from 22 to 30. Like last year, there is a total prize pot of £75,000 for each event, meaning that a whopping £2,250,000 is on offer across the year. All earnings will count towards the Players Championship Order of Merit. After Players Championship 30 on 15 October, the 64 participants in the 2019 PDC Players Championship Finals will be confirmed.
There's an international edge to the season-long tournament this time around. Wigan and Barnsley remain as hosts and will stage the lion's share of events. Tour Card holders will visit Dublin once again, this time in October. And two events will be held in Hildesheim, the host of PDC European Q-School.
Daryl Gurney is the reigning Players Championship Finals champion. He beat Michael van Gerwen 11-9 in a thrilling final in Minehead.

- It's his attitude. Zero fight when it's not going his way and looks like the darts owe him a treble. He carries every poor visit into the next one. Maybe he should decide one final year, goodbye tour and f*ing enjoy itBandB18-12-2025
- Difficult one. Obviously has some struggles but you can't allow that behaviour. The damage to his hand from punching and blocking the pyrotechnics will keep him out for months anyway, but ban to the matchplay and fine whatever his prize money was for this event, with a heavy suspended ban on top.BandB17-12-2025
- 1 year ban and £15,000 fine.medinabello16-12-2025
- can you not at least attempt to proof read these recaps? the whitlock scutt one in particular is both inaccurate and mindbogglingly unreadablecolt16-12-2025
- Look, everyone knows he likes to wind up his opponents. Today,his worst,and always will be,best opponent,is himself. I don't dislike the bloke,but he can only blame himself.rick6715-12-2025

- DRA - just a warning please. Obviously not deliberate, in good spirits a s immediate apology. (P.s. Good on you Joe! Tough season, hope you keep that standard into the next round and beyond)BandB14-12-2025
- This bozo says he can't take darts any further and he's left it in a good place.....no-one cares about this nobody. The PDC was always in a good place before he came along. Does this buffon think the crowd are there for him.richieburnettrocks14-12-2025
- Yes, a warning indeed. He is coming to the buffet table, out of his way. This class A goof continues to blither about how he is playing the best darts of his life and even had the laughable audacity to say he was in the best shape of his life. He had a lucky run at Blackpool and even luckier at the World Championship and is still living off that. His form the past year especially the last 6 months completely sucks. 6 micky mouse titles mean nothing.richieburnettrocks13-12-2025
- I'm a big Huybretchs fan from when he broke through at the euros in the early days, but his action has gone. So jerky and inconsistent. Looking at where he'll be in the rankings, hopefully he can treat the new year as a new start, relax, enjoy it and push on without the pressure of defending lots of ££BandB12-12-2025
