Overview of the 2025 Tour Card Holders<\/h6>\n

Max Hopp makes his return to the Pro Tour after a two-year absence and could barely contain his emotions:<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost my last match. I put my hands over my head and immediately started crying, thinking I had blown it. I gave it everything, and in the end, it worked out. I\u2019m absolutely over the moon.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His compatriot Max Czerwinski, who had never competed on the PDC circuit before, was the biggest surprise at Germany\u2019s Q-School. The 26-year-old from Dortmund has only been playing steel darts since 2022 but had an incredible run on the final day, securing enough points.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came here with no expectations,\u201d Czerwinski said. \u201cI can\u2019t fully grasp it yet, but I\u2019m really excited to play on the Pro Tour. I hope my level will improve on the tour because I don\u2019t think I showed my best darts at Q-School.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Players and fans will get their first taste of Pro Tour action in February with the year\u2019s first two Players Championship events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
