Draw and Schedule 2025 International Darts Open: Find out fate of Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price in Riesa
PDC
The draw has been completed for the 2025 International Darts Open which will take place this weekend in Riesa between April 4-6 as Martin Schindler aims to go back-to-back in a field led by Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price.
Schindler defeated Gerwyn Price last year in the final to win his maiden European Tour before going on to win in Basel and will look to complete the feat again.
He will face Thomas Lovely. Niko Springer also faces Dirk van Duijvenbode, while Ricardo Pietreczko takes on Krzysztof Ratajski in terms of current home hopes. Daniel Klose also takes on Mike de Decker.
While Michael Smith faces Thibault Tricole, Joe Cullen and Robert Owen also face off. Luke Humphries will face either Van Duijvenbode or Springer to open up his campaign, Michael van Gerwen is also involved and takes on either Andrew Gilding or William O'Connor.
Gerwyn Price faces a potential showdown with De Decker in the second round. While Luke Littler and Gary Anderson have both withdrawn from the initial field prior to the weekend.
So they are the big misses in the race for the title in Germany as we return to the home of the European Tour.

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
