The PDC
Development Tour 2024 consists of a series of 24 tournaments. A sum of £15,000 in
prize money has been made available for each event. Thus, the prize pool for the entire circuit is £360,000.
From reaching the last 64, players can begin to earn
prize money, starting with 75 pounds. That amount then increases each round. The winner collects a handsome £2,500.
The
Development Tour ranking is based on
prize money earned. At the end of the season, the numbers one and two receive an invitation to the World Darts Championship, plus a Tour Card for 2025 and 2026. In addition, the ranking winner gets to compete in the Grand Slam of Darts.
A PDC World Youth Championship will also be played at the end of the season with a field of 128 players. The top-96 of the
Development Tour Order of Merit qualify for the final tournament anyway. In addition, there are wildcards and qualifiers for the battle for the youth world title.
