The PDC has announced which 32 players are automatically qualified for the fifth and sixth Euro Tour tournaments of the season. Among others, Luke Littler is automatically qualified for the very first time.

For both the Austrian Darts Open and the Baltic Sea Darts Open, Dave Chisnall tops the list of seeded players as the likes of Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and Peter Wright headline with ProTour Order of Merit spots being taken by notable names such as Andrew Gilding, Raymond van Barneveld, James Wade and for the first time, Luke Littler meaning these players will not have to go through the brutal qualification tournaments.

Ten more starting spots for both Euro Tours are up for grabs at a Tour Card qualifying tournament on Wednesday, April 10. In addition, four more Host Nation qualifiers, one Nordic & Baltic qualifier and one East-Europe qualifier will be added to the field of participants.
