2009 PDC Pro Tour

The 2009 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). They consisted of Professional Dart Players Association (PDPA) Players Championships and UK Open Regional Finals.

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 will revert to £400 for the next event.

The German Darts Corporation rankings are calculated from events across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The top player in the rankings automatically qualifies for the 2010 World Championship.

The Australian Grand Prix rankings are calculated from events across Australia. The top player in the rankings automatically qualifies for the 2010 World Championship.

The PDC also held a number of other tournaments during 2009. These were mainly smaller events with low prize money, and some had eligibility restrictions. All of these tournaments were non-ranking.
