128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships events, the UK Open and all the European Tour events.
The 2020 Tour Cards are awarded to:
Afterwards, the playing field will be complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players had been reached. In 2020, that means that a total of 19 players will qualify this way.
The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into a UK and European Q-School. Players that are not from Europe could choose which Q-School they wanted to compete in.
The following players won two-year tour cards on each of the days played:
UK Q-School | |||
---|---|---|---|
January 16 | January 17 | January 18 | January 19 |
|
|||
506 players | 503 players | 461 players | 469 players |
European Q-School | |||
January 16 | January 17 | January 18 | January 19 |
313 players | 314 players | 271 players | 280 players |
An Order of Merit was also created for each Q School. For every win after the first full round (without byes) the players were awarded 1 point.
To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, places were allocated down the final Qualifying School Order of Merits in proportion to the number of entrants. The following players picked up Tour Cards as a result:
UK Q-School Order of Merit |
European Q-School Order of Merit
