Challenge Tour

The Challenge Tour is the second highest division of the PDC after the professional circuit.

All players who took part in the Q-School and did not win a Tour Card are eligible to play in the Challenge Tour events.

A total of £15,000 is paid out at each of the 30 events (£2,500 for the winner), which is included in the Challenge Tour Order of Merit. At the end of the year, the top 2 players in the Challenge Tour Order of Merit receive a Tour Card and a starting place at the next World Championship. The best player in the Challenge Tour Order of Merit also qualifies for the Grand Slam of Darts.

The Challenge Tour takes place without spectators and is not streamed.
