The PDC Development Tour

The PDC Development Tour is the youth circuit of the Professional Darts Corporation. This tour is open to players aged 16 through 23, with those turning 24 during the season allowed to continue competing.

Each Development Tour tournament features a prize pool of £15,000, with the earnings contributing to the ranking system. At the end of the season, the top two players will receive an invitation to the World Darts Championship, along with a Tour Card for 2025 and 2026. The ranking winner will also earn a spot in the Grand Slam of Darts.
