Schedule Sunday afternoon at Austrian Darts Open 2025 featuring Wright, Dobey, Heta and Rock aiming to reach Quarter-Finals
PDCSunday, 27 April 2025 at 06:00
Sixteen men are still in the race for the title at the Austrian Darts Open in Graz as the Quarter-Finals will be set this afternoon.
The Austrian Darts Open was once the first Euro Tour tournament to be held. Justin Pipe crowned himself winner of the very first Euro Tour event in PDC history in 2012. Michael van Gerwen (2013) and Vincent van der Voort (2014) then provided Dutch successes in Austria before Phil Taylor won the 2016 edition. Van Gerwen eventually triumphed four times, as he also picked up wins in 2017, 2019 and 2022. Jonny Clayton was the best in 2018 and 2023, while Littler ran away with the title in 2024.

Jermaine Wattimena is up first. After his fine victory over Jonny Clayton, Daryl Gurney now awaits. Then Danny Noppert faces World Youth Champion Josh Rock.
Kevin Doets gets to try to follow up his shock against Nathan Aspinall against Martin Schindler. Wessel Nijman will face Martin Schindler after he took care of Mike de Decker's elimination in the second round.
Dirk van Duijvenbode battles Matt Campbell for a spot in the quarterfinals of the Austrian Darts Open, while two-time world champion Peter Wright faces off with Ross Smith. Damon Heta faces Joe Cullen, before Dave Chisnall and Ryan Joyce meet in Sunday afternoon's final match.
This tournament being a well known issue to get to has meant that many of the top names have in fact withdrawn leaving a pretty depleted field in Graz. They all compete for the famous green jacket also known as a janker.
But given it is a lesser field, it gives the likes of Wright, Dobey and Heta a chance to win a title usually dominated by such players as Littler, Van Gerwen and Humphries. Most of which apart from MVG who is on holiday are playing exhibitions this weekend.
Humphries and Littler in particular are on a tour of Scotland this weekend with MODUS playing in Kelso yesterday so. were seemingly never going to play this event but the chance is now there for others.
TV Guide
The tournament will be broadcast by PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Austrian Darts Open consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 12 p.m., while the evening sessions start at 6 p.m.
The first round will take place on Saturday. The 16 Pro Tour players are then paired with one of the 16 players who managed to get through the various qualifying tournaments. The top-16 seeded players enter the tournament on Sunday in the second round. The denouement of the tournament follows on Monday, with the third round first in the afternoon session. Monday night the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals will follow.
Distribution of prize money
All entrants starting from the first round are guaranteed £1250 in prize money, while the top 16 enter from the second round and receive £2,500 anyway. This amount eventually rises to the grand prize of £30,000 for the winner.
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.

- Simple really if you have darts and sports best interests at heart rather than trying to be an entertainment circus focused on business. Scrap the Premier League and the World Series bring back the Las Vegas Desert Classic and the US Open and making them ranking. Have a similar model to tennis with the four Majors and Masters events. If the BDO and now the WDF could organise World tournaments it should not be beyond the PDC. Of course Barry wants to make ‘loads a money’ of the backs of the players so thats the main imperative.Mysstree21-05-2025
- 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
- Yes, he can't look good in a football shirt. Good god, couldn't they find a better fitting shirt.richieburnettrocks04-05-2025
- 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
- It was probably the DRA booing, anything to extract money out of the players.richieburnettrocks21-04-2025
- 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
- I agree! It would be the best if the aforementioned ban were to be imposed. Hope is a good thing, Mysstree.MrYnyslas197119-04-2025
