Another weekend of European Tour action is on the horizon with the Austrian Darts Open in Graz taking place this time out. There will be no Michael van Gerwen though who withdrawed from the tournament today.

This means Peter Wright will assume top seeding with Rob Cross second. Wright himself could have an intriguing tie with James Wade in round 2 as a result.
Max Hopp will be looking to continue on from his triumph last week in Saarbrucken by hopefully going far in the Austrian Darts Open. He could face Jonny Clayton if he gets past Stephen Burton.
Richie Burnett, Cristo Reyes and Adam Hunt are among the players as well who will make their European Tour returns this weekend; as well Darius Labanauskas who is well known in the BDO will be making his PDC debut.

- This dozy wooden air head taking a selfie with the trophy sums her up, she has no knowledge of darts and certainly no memory of any previous final, so any comment is completely irrelevant. She couldn't even name the line up from this year, let alone any analysis from last years final.richieburnettrocks03-06-2026

- Doesn't matter what they do,it's all rubbish. Just scrap the whole thing,and get some more tournaments,open to everyone,with the same prize money. I haven't watched it this year,I know what they all look like!! It's an unjust,unfair 'league', promoted for money and TV and beer sales. Get rid of it now!rick6719-05-2026

- The euro tour thrived before the names played them and will thrive without them. The one change the PDC need is to not protect the OOM top 16. If the form or world rankings drop, they need to qualify. While this would reward the players who regularly make the trip. Also add more prize money to the earlier rounds so you can't be out of pocket by attending but losing 1st round.BandB11-05-2026
- Another week, another suggestion to make Euro Tour qualification fairer. This one is: No substitutes if a pre-qualifier declines to play. Add an extra place in the Tour Card Holder qualifiers instead, so everyone is there on merit. Currently the races come with a safety net, with little consequence for sliding out of the ProTour Top 16 and extra chances for easy money to get back in.Scoobedybop11-05-2026
