The first outright Tour Card of the week is available today on Thursday 9 January in Kalkar at PDC European Q-School as some of the names who have just lost their Tour Cards join the fray.
After the first stage, there are now 128 players and there are more Tour Cards to fight for in Germany. There are 29 in all and 12 are available compared to nine in the UK.
The daily winners in Europe and also the UK seal a Tour Card outright so will not have to rely on the Order of Merit to do so. Those through automatically to the Final Stage include Jeffrey de Zwaan, Adam Gawlas, Rowby-John Rodriguez, Boris Krcmar as well as those from Affiliate Tours such as Kayden Milne who accepted his invite.
Whilst Max Hopp, Brian Raman and Kai Gotthardt headline the contingent of outright qualifiers and Order of Merit hopefuls aiming to join or rejoin the PDC top 128.
Unlike the past few days, we will get a winner but after the first round, all points will count to the big prize at the end of it all if not won outright. Big names will fall and others will come to the fore but who wins the opening Tour Card. Use our Live Blog to follow along.
