PDC Development Tour Order of Merit Update as World Darts Championship spots and Tour Cards to be decided

On Sunday, the last two tournaments of this PDC Development Tour season will be played. Although Wessel Nijman has already secured first place, there are still plenty of prizes to distribute.

By securing first place, Nijman may compete at the Grand Slam of Darts in November. An invitation to the Darts World Cup and a PDC Tour Card for 2025 and 2026 are also attached to the first and second places, but Nijman already has these in his pocket.

Number two Niko Springer is going to have a PDC Tour Card confirmed and this Development Tour season, especially since numbers three, four and five also all have Tour Cards in 2025. Bialecki seems to have a claim to the other Tour Card, but he still has to keep Danny Jansen behind him on the final day.

Currently, Springer and number three Keane Barry have sealed spots for the World Darts Championship via the Development Tour. Springer has a 2150-pound margin over Barry. The Irishman himself has a thousand-pound lead over number four Nathan Rafferty.

In addition, starting spots for the PDC World Youth Championship can also be earned on Sunday. The battle for the youth world title begins on Monday, Oct. 14, with 128 participants. There then already ten Tour Card holders and 21 international qualifiers competing, which means there are still 97 spots to be given via the Development Tour Order of Merit for the PDC World Youth Championship.
