List of players with a 2018 PDC Tour Card explained

To compete in the Professional Darts Corporation pro tour tournaments one needs a Tour Card.

In total 128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships, UK Open Qualifiers and European Tour events.[1]

A Tour Card is valid for 2 years. The top 64 in the PDC Order of Merit all received Tour Cards automatically, and those who won a two-year card in 2017 still had a valid card for 2018. The top 2 of the 2017 Challenge Tour and Development Tour also won cards. 33 remaining places were played out at the 2018 Q-Schools, with the four days of competition giving two Cards a day from the UK Q-School and one a day from the European Q-School; with the remaining players being ranked and the top players also receiving Cards. All players who won a card at either Q-School had their Order of Merit ranking reset to zero.
