The PDC Development Tour is considered the breeding ground of the PDC. Talented players have the opportunity to further develop their gift on this circuit. Players may enter as soon as they reach the age of 16. They may then join up to and including the season in which they turn 24.
Prize money distribution during PDC Development Tour
Each tournament pays out £15,000 in prize money, so the prize pool for the entire circuit of a total of 24 tournaments consists of £360,000.
From reaching the last 64, players can earn prize money, starting with £75. That amount then increases with each round. The winner collects a handsome £2,500.
