From April 25 to 27, 2025, the European Tour will descend on Austria for the Austrian Darts Open 2025. This prestigious tournament will take place at the Steiermarkhalle in Graz and is part of the PDC European Tour, a series of fourteen events across Europe.
In addition to the honor and a full house of enthusiastic fans, it is of course also about the prize money. A total of £175,000 will be distributed, with players who enter the first round in action assured of £1250. This amount eventually rises to the top prize of £30,000.

How will the prize money be distributed?
Every player who qualifies for the tournament will have a chance to get a share of the prize pool. The distribution is as follows:
Winner - £30,000
Runner-up - £12,000
Semi-finalists - £8,500
Quarter-finalists - £6,000
Third round - £4,000
Second round - £2,500*
First round - £1,250*
An important detail is that players who are automatically seeded via the Order of Merit and lose their first match will not be awarded prize money on the various rankings. This does apply to qualifiers who are later designated as seeded by the withdrawal of others.
The prize money from the Austrian Darts Open counts not only for the world rankings and the Pro Tour Order of Merit, but especially for the European Tour Order of Merit. The latter ranking is crucial, as only the top 32 players on this list earn a ticket to the prestigious European Championship.
The higher a player finishes on the European Tour Order of Merit, the more favorable the draw for this final tournament. This means that players in Graz will not only compete for high prize money, but also for the best possible starting position for the European Championship, which will take place in October.

- The statement from Hearn that "People will be able to watch what they want to watch, the sports they want to watch, when they want to watch it and for a price they can afford" is bizarre. Sport only works when it is shown live - very few people pull a 'Likely Lads' and try to avoid a result so they can watch highlights later. And if darts disappears off free to air ITV, it certainly won't go to the BBC, who couldn't afford it, even if they were interested. So, that leaves Channel 4 or maybe Channel 5. More likely the ITV package will go to someone like Netflix and the rest stay with Sky. There won't actually be any free to air darts at all.StraightArrowNoBull06-05-2025

- ITV coverage is far superior to SKY It is excellent, always very interesting from an extremely knowledgeable team. I love Chris Mason, Jacqui, Alan and Ned, brilliant presenters and so enjoyable. ITV are also losing their absolutely fantastic Tour de France coverage. They do not get enough credit for the fantastic job they do. What the fudge do BBC do with darts? They let go of the Lakeside and that really helped with sinking the BDO.richieburnettrocks04-05-2025
- Under the tutelage of the Hearns who think they are a law unto themselves when it comes to Sport, so does Porter. Under UK law a woman is now defined by biology therefore that makes Van Leuvan a man in the eyes of the law and should not be playing in womens competitions, entering changing rooms, toilets, etc.Mysstree02-05-2025
- I was always a fan of Rocky, another one of my heroes banished never to return....unless he changes his name to Anne. Andy didn't need to fix matches, he is a good player and wealthy. It sounds like too many people were involved in the bets, and it rather suitably circumstantial. Richie Gardiner has heat with Rocky. How can anyone predict where a player will throw a dart, I purposely avoided hitting 180 when I played as the organisation would pay £10 for each 180 hit to a charity I refused to contribute to. Modus is played in Portsmouth anyway. I've met Rocky many times and thank him for the great matches and memories....unless can he play in the WDFrichieburnettrocks01-05-2025
- Surely then as darts is ‘your job’ then do your job and less exhibitions even if they pay more, or retire and do the exhibition circuit. Appreciate that exhibitions are gauranteed income, you get your fee. Still say scrap the Premier League and even out the season, its only eight of the top guys who lose anything money wise and its not like they are struggling for income.Mysstree29-04-2025

- What do you mean WAS the best darts player in the world, Richie Burnett is still the greatest darts player in the world. If you ever need financial assistance, Richie, call me. I think radiator water is probably more appealing than the actual pot noodlerichieburnettrocks20-04-2025
