PDCThursday, 31 July 2025 at 15:15
Ten players booked their places at the 2024 Czech Darts Open following Thursday’s PDC Tour Card Qualifier, each winning three matches to secure their ticket to the Euro Tour event in Prague this September.
Germany’s Niko Springer edged out Belgium’s Andy Baetens 6–4 in one of the day’s most competitive finals, averaging 94.47 in the process. England’s Ritchie Edhouse produced a standout performance, posting a 101.79 average in a commanding 6–2 win over Thomas Lovely.
Poland’s Krzysztof Ratajski also progressed with a narrow 6–5 victory against Ireland’s Dylan Slevin in a high-quality encounter, while Brendan Dolan (Northern Ireland) comfortably saw off James Hurrell 6–2 with a 98.44 average. Ireland’s William O’Connor impressed with a 99.36 average in a 6–3 win against Darren Beveridge, and former World Matchplay semi-finalist Ian White claimed his spot with a 6–2 win over Max Hopp.
The Netherlands will be represented by three qualifiers: Richard Veenstra, who beat Berry van Peer 6–3, Kevin Doets, who dropped just two legs against Andy Boulton in a 99.84 average performance and Maik Kuivenhoven, who held his nerve in a tight 6–5 win over Mario Vandenbogaerde, sealing the match with a 101 checkout. Cor Dekker, representing Norway, rounds off the list of qualifiers after a solid 6–3 victory over Latvia’s Madars Razma.
The Czech Darts Open returns for its fifth edition from 5–7 September at the PVA Expo in Prague. The tournament will feature all 16 seeded players from the PDC Order of Merit, including Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, and Gary Anderson, who will enter the competition in the second round.
Additionally, the top 16 players from the Pro Tour Order of Merit not already qualified have also received invitations, starting their campaigns from round one. Among them are Gian van Veen, Wessel Nijman, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Raymond van Barneveld, Jermaine Wattimena, and Mike De Decker.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
