The PDC Nordic & Baltic are glad to announce a big increase in prize money for the coming season after an investment from the PDC.
As part of the PDC’s boost to prize funds and expansion at all levels of the sport, a new three-year funding cycle has been agreed an exciting step for global darts.
The news comes following impressive performances from a host of international qualifiers during the first two rounds of the Paddy Power World Darts Championship, showcasing the increasing worldwide talent on the Ally Pally stage.
Alongside boosted prize money on Affiliate Tours, leading players from each region will also get the chance to compete at PDC Qualifying School and in the World Masters Preliminary Rounds, as well as at the World Cup, Grand Slam and World Championship.
The investment provides a minimum guarantee of prize money across the PDC’s Affiliate Tours, continuing the exciting growth seen in the post-Covid period.
For PDC Nordic & Baltic this means an increase of 31,500 euros in prize money for next season, as all twelve Nordic and Baltic Pro Tour events will be worth €7500 from next season, just as the prize fund for the Nordic & Baltic Championship will be worth €20,000.
