2010 PDC Pro Tour


The 2010 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. They were Professional Dart Players Association Players Championships and UK Open Qualifiers. This year there were 45 PDC Pro Tour events – 37 Players Championships and 8 UK Open Qualifiers.

Prize money

Prize money for each Players Championship and UK Open Qualifier increased from £29,600 in 2009 to £31,200 in 2010. Prize money for Australian and Canadian Players Championships remained unchanged at £21,600 per event.

In addition, £400 per Pro Tour event was reserved for a nine-dart finish. Should this not be won in an event, it would be carried over to the next event, and so on until a nine-dart finish is achieved. Once the prize fund is won, it reverted to £400 for the next event.
