Prize money International Darts Open 2025: Here is how much is on offer in Riesa
PDC
From Friday, April 4 to Sunday, April 6, 2025, the European Tour will continue with the International Darts Open 2025. This prestigious event will be held at the SACHSENarena in Riesa and is part of the PDC European Tour, a series of 14 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 International Darts Open counts not only for the world rankings (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 Riesa 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.

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
