From March 7 to 9, 2025, the European Tour will descend on Belgium for the
Belgian Darts Open. This prestigious tournament will take place in the Oktoberhallen in Wieze 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 the players in action in the first round 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 of the Belgian Darts Open counts not only for the world ranking (PDC Order of Merit) and the Pro Tour Order of Merit, but especially for the European Tour Order of Merit. This last ranking is crucial because 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 Wieze 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.
