Qualification and format

edit

A massive overhaul in the qualification for the 2024 European Tour events was announced on 7 January.[6]

For the first time, both the PDC Order of Merit and the PDC ProTour Order of Merit rankings were used to determine 32 of the 48 entrants for the event.

The top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit qualified, along with the highest 16 ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit (after the PDC Order of Merit players were removed). From those 32 players, the 16 highest ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit were seeded for the event.

The seedings were confirmed on 7 June.[7]

The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 13 June), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 19 May), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 31 May), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 31 May).

Gary Anderson, Josh Rock, Michael Smith and Nathan Aspinall withdrew and were replaced by Stephen Burton, Dylan Slevin, Mensur Suljović and Robert Owen. Ryan Joyce, Daryl Gurney and Joe Cullen moved up to become seeds.[8]
