2022 European Darts Grand Prix
The 2022 European Darts Grand Prix was the seventh of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2022 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle, Stuttgart, Germany, from 20 to 22 May 2022. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.
José de Sousa was the defending champion after defeating Michael van Gerwen 8–4 in the 2020 final, but lost in the second round 6–5 to Andrew Gilding.
Luke Humphries won his third European Tour title of 2022, defeating Rob Cross 8–7 in a repeat of the final from the previous European Tour event a week earlier.
The original venue for this tournament was the Glaspalast in Sindelfingen, but it was being used as accommodation for Ukrainian refugees fleeing from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Prize money
The prize money is unchanged from the European Tours of the last 3 years:- Seeded players who lose in the second round and host nation qualifiers who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.
