2010 PDC Pro Tour

The 2010 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). They were Professional Dart Players Association (PDPA) Players Championships and UK Open Qualifiers. This year there were 45 PDC Pro Tour events - 37 Players Championships and 8 UK Open Qualifiers.

Prize money for each Players Championship (excluding Australia and Canada) and UK Open Qualifier increased from £29,600 in 2009 to £31,200 in 2010. Prize money for Australian and Canadian Players Championships remained unchanged at £21,600 per event.

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 reverted to £400 for the next event.

The Australian Grand Prix rankings are calculated from events across Australia. The top player in the rankings automatically qualifies for the 2011 World Championship.

The PDC also held a number of other tournaments during 2010. These were mainly smaller events with low prize money, and some had eligibility restrictions. All of these tournaments were non-ranking.
