Prize money European Darts Trophy 2025: what's at stake in Göttingen?

From March 21 to 23, 2025, the European Tour will descend on Germany for the European Darts Trophy. This prestigious tournament will take place at the Lokhalle in Göttingen and is part of the PDC European Tour, a series of 14 events across Europe.

In addition to the honour 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.

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 European Darts Trophy 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. 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 Göttingen are not only fighting for high prize money, but also for the best possible starting position for the European Championship, which will take place in October.
