Christopher Toonders won the first tournament of the 2023 PDC Development Tour. He took the title after an all-German final.
Only in 2021 did it happen twice that two Germans faced each other in the final. However, that was in the COVID-19 year, when there was a separate Development Tour for players outside the United Kingdom. On a Development Tour with complete line-up, this had not yet occurred.
Toonders reached the final after victories over Thomas Banks (4-3), Luke Littler (5-3) and Wessel Nijman, among others. His compatriot Marvin Kraft reached the final by beating Owen Roelofs (5-3) and Nathan Rafferty (5-1), among others. The final then went 5-2 to Toonders.
