International Darts Open 2025 participant field: No Littler but Van Gerwen, Humphries & Price do compete in Riesa
PDC
From Friday, April 4 to Sunday, April 6, the tenth edition of the International Darts Open will take place at the SACHSENarena in Riesa. Luke Littler will not be there, nor will Gary Anderson, but plenty of other top players will be present at the third Euro Tour tournament of the season.
The field is led by world number one Luke Humphries. Cool Hand Luke' will have competition from Michael van Gerwen, Rob Cross and Gerwyn Price, among others. The latter reached the final in five of the last six editions and has won the tournament four times already.

The sixteen players who received an invitation based on their Pro Tour ranking do start from the first round. This includes Gian van Veen, Raymond van Barneveld, Wessel Nijman, Jermaine Wattimena, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Mike de Decker, Ryan Searle, Cameron Menzies, Michael Smith and Joe Cullen.
Through the Tour Card qualifying tournament, Mario Vandenbogaerde managed to qualify, as well as Krzysztof Ratajski, Niko Springer, Thibault Tricole, William O'Connor and Matt Campbell, among others. Completing the field of participants are the four Host Nation Qualifiers and the winners of qualifying tournaments in the Nordic & Baltic region and Eastern Europe.
In 2015, Michael Smith became the first winner of this event, while Mensur Suljovic (2016) and Peter Wright (2017) won subsequent editions. Then the Gerwyn Price era dawned, in which the Welshman came out on top in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023. In between, Joe Cullen took the title in 2020. In 2021, the tournament was cancelled due to the corona pandemic. In 2024, Martin Schindler surprisingly crowned himself the winner of the International Darts Open in Riesa. The German won his first ever Euro Tour title by beating Price 8-5 in the final.

- Ridiculous the booing for both these players in the final in Germany tonightListerAnderson03-04-2025
- May only have won two PDC Majors but thats two more than most players will ever win. He wasn’t lucky either to beat Taylor and MVG, he outplayed them.Mysstree29-03-2025

- 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
