Tour cards[]

Main article: List of players with a 2018 PDC Tour Card

The 2018 Tour Cards are awarded to:[1]

  • (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2018 World Championship.
    • England Phil Taylor resigned his card, and therefore, Germany Martin Schindler moved into the top 64.
  • (24) 24 qualifiers from 2017 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.
  • (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2016 Challenge Tour (England Rob Cross and England Ryan Searle).
    • Rob Cross is in the top 64 of the Order of Merit, and therefore, one extra Tour Card was awarded to a Q-School qualifier.
  • (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2016 Development Tour (England Ross Twell and England Aden Kirk).
  • (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2017 Challenge Tour (England Wayne Jones and England Mark Dudbridge).
  • (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2017 Development Tour (England Luke Humphries and Belgium Dimitri Van den Bergh).
    • Dimitri Van den Bergh is also in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit, and therefore, a Pro Tour Card was awarded to England Adam Hunt, who finished third on the Development Tour Order of Merit.
  • (12) The 12 qualifiers from the 2018 Qualifying Schools.

Afterwards, the playing field will be complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players had been reached. In 2018, that means that a total of 21 players will qualify this way.

Q-School[]

In a change to previous years, The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into a UK and European Q-School.[2] Players that are not from Europe can choose which Q-School they want to compete in.

  • The UK Q-School took place at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan from 18–21 January.
  • The European Q-School took place at the Halle 39 in Hildesheim from 18–21 January.

The following players won two-year tour cards on each of the days played:

An Order of Merit was also created for each Q School. For every win after the first full round (without byes) the players get awarded 1 point.

To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, places were allocated down the final Qualifying School Order of Merits in proportion to the number of entrants. The following players picked up Tour Cards as a result:
