This is the jam-packed PDC calendar for the month of August

The times when August at the PDC consisted only of World Series tournaments are definitely over. Read the full PDC calendar for the month of August here.

This month includes tournaments on the Pro Tour, World Series, Women's Series, Challenge Tour and Euro Tour. In addition, several qualifying tournaments will be played as the rest of the year takes shape.

The Pro Tour season resumes on Wednesday, July 31. A Players Championship tournament will be played daily through Friday, August 2, in Milton Keynes, England.

Each Players Championship tournament involves 128 players. First, the 128 PDC Tour Card holders are invited. If not all Tour Card holders participate, Challenge Tour players are invited.

A number of matches during these Players Championship tournaments are played on a livestream. This live stream can be viewed via PDC TV. The winner of a Players Championship tournament collects the top prize of 15,000 pounds.

After the Pro Tours, the darters are not done yet, as two qualifying tournaments are also scheduled for August 3. These tournaments are open to Tour Card holders and at each qualifier ten starting spots for a Euro Tour tournament are up for grabs.

First at stake are ten qualifying spots for the Hungarian Darts Trophy. Next, players compete for qualification for the Swiss Darts Trophy. The top-16 of the world rankings and top-16 of the Pro Tour rankings are automatically invited to these tournaments.

Traditionally, World Series tournaments are played in August in 'Down Under'. Last year, the tournament in Wollongong was still called the New South Wales Dart Masters, but as of 2024, the tournament name has been renamed to the Australian Darts Masters. 

Sixteen players will compete in the World Series tournament in Wollongong on August 9-10. Among others, Luke Littler, Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price, Luke Humphries, Michael Smith, Dimitri van den Bergh, Damon Heta, Simon Whitlock and Haupai Puha will make their appearance there.

The ladies will also compete in the month of August. The fourth tournament weekend of the PDC Women's Series will be played in Hildesheim, Germany, hosting tournaments thirteen through sixteen.

Well-known names such as Beau Greaves, Fallon Sherrock, Lisa Ashton, Mikuru Suzuki and Noa-Lynn van Leuven will compete for the titles in this event. At the end of the season, the best player of the year gets to compete in the Grand Slam of Darts. In addition, the numbers one and two of the final rankings will be invited to the World Darts Championship.

The World Series duel in Down Under concludes in New Zealand on Aug. 16 and 17. After the trip in Australia, it will travel on to the New Zealand city of Hamilton for the fourth edition of the New Zealand Darts Masters.

The field of participants for this tournament largely matches the lineup for the Australian Darts Masters. Among others Luke Littler, Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price, Luke Humphries, Michael Smith, Dimitri van den Bergh, Damon Heta, Simon Whitlock and Haupai Puha will be in action there.

For those players who participated in the Q-School early this year but did not win a PDC Tour Card, four Challenge Tour tournaments are scheduled in Milton Keynes.

It is the fourth tournament weekend of the Challenge Tour this season. The top two players at the end of this season will receive an invitation to the World Darts Championship and a PDC Tour Card for 2025 and 2026.

Two Players Championship tournaments will be held in Milton Keynes on August 21 and 22. The World Series participants therefore have a few days to deal with their jet lag.
