The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) grants a Tour Card every year to 128 darts players, which allows them to compete in all PDC ProTour tournaments, those being all Players Championships and European Tours (or qualifiers to the later events in case the player has not automatically qualified). Additionally, holding a PDC Tour Card offers further benefits such as automatic qualifications for the UK Open or participation in the qualifying rounds for the World Darts Championship, Grand Slam and World Masters, among others.
PDC Tour Cards are valid for two years. The top 64 players in the PDC Order of Merit (OoM) and the players who won a card last year automatically receive Tour Cards for the rest of the year. Players can have their card stripped if they relinquish it, do not compete in any ProTour for a whole year, or have been banned for a period longer than the remaining duration of the card.
The top two players from last year's secondary tours (Challenge Tour and Development Tour), along with the players who earned a Tour Card at this year's UK & European Q-Schools, are awarded two-year long cards. All these players have their Order of Merit rankings reset to zero since the beginning of the season.
According to PDC Order of Merit Rule 3.2, in case a tie occurs when two or more players have the same amount of money in the PDC Order of Merit, the countback rule is used to break the tie. This rule looks at the cumulative money won by each player in the previous four eligible events, with the players who gained more money being placed higher in the ranking.
Leighton Bennett's Tour Card, which he won at the 2024 Q-School, was removed as he had received an eight-year suspension from events sanctioned by the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA). Paul Krohne voluntarily gave back his Tour Card which he won at 2024 Q-School.
