Schedule Sunday evening at Swiss Darts Trophy 2024 as latest European Tour champion crowned in Basel

The schedule is confirmed as the latest European Tour and the last before the World Grand Prix is completed at the Swiss Darts Trophy. The final session is upon us in Basel.

This is the first time the PDC has hosted a tournament in Switzerland. Earlier this year, Euro Tour tournaments were played in Belgium, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Hungary. Later this year, another event will be completed in the Czech Republic. It will be completed this evening.

The first Quarter-Final sees Josh Rock face Luke Humphries in a game that at least on paper shouldn't have happened. Rock was facing Rob Cross and swept Voltage aside in the opening game of the session. While Humphries was not the betting favourite against Luke Littler despite being World No.1 and World Champion such is the clamour that surrounds the teenager.

But both Rock and Humphries taught those people a lesson and it is a standout Quarter-Final and perhaps could gleam the winner of the title. Then Martin Schindler and Raymond van Barneveld face off. Again games that went against the script slightly. Schindler edged past Stephen Bunting 6-4. While Van Barneveld who narrowly escaped after a huge lead against Ricardo Pietreczko yesterday returned to see off Ross Smith a tad easier today.

Callan Rydz has a game with big implications after that as he faces James Wade. Nathan Aspinall will be watching with baited breath as he will play the European Championship unless Rydz gets to the final so all eyes on him as he faces James Wade before Ryan Searle completes the line-up against Daryl Gurney who saw off Aspinall. Who will be crowned champion later on in Basel? The semi-finals and final will follow.

The Swiss Darts Trophy will be broadcast on PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Swiss Darts Trophy consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start on Friday and Saturday at 12:00, while the evening sessions then start at 18:00. On Sunday, the sessions start at 11:00 and 17:00.

The first round will take place on Friday. The 16 Order of Merit qualifiers and the winners from the various qualifying tournaments then make their appearance. The top-16 seeded players enter the tournament on Saturday in the second round. Sunday will see the denouement of the tournament, starting with the third round in the afternoon session. Sunday evening will be followed by the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.

At this Euro Tour tournament, a total of £175,000 in prize money will be divided among the 48 participants. They will receive at least 1250 pounds in starting money. The top-16 seeded players who enter the Swiss Darts Trophy from the second round will receive 2,500 pounds anyway.

They do - like the 16 Order of Merit qualifiers starting in the first round - have to win their first match in order for the prize money to count toward the world rankings and the other rankings. The winner of the Swiss Darts Trophy ultimately goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
