Draft:2023 PDC Challenge Tour
The 2023 PDC Challenge Tour (known for sponsorship reasons as the Winmau Challenge Tour) was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). A secondary tour to the PDC Pro Tour, it consisted of 24 tournaments, held over four weekends of five events and one weekend of four events.
The Challenge Tour is the PDC's second-tier system for players who competed at the 2023 Qualifying Schools but did not win a PDC Tour Card.[1]
Under PDC Order of Merit Rule 6.9, the 2023 Challenge Tour prizes were as follows:
- The top two players on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit, who had not obtained a PDC Tour Card via another method, won a two-year Tour Card for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
- The top two players on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit, who had not qualified via another method, qualified for places at the 2024 PDC World Championship.
- The highest ranked player on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit, Berry van Peer, received a spot at the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts.
- The players in the top 16 of the Challenge Tour Order of Merit, who had not obtained a PDC Tour Card before 2024 Qualifying School (Q–School), were granted free entry to the final stage of Q–School.
- The eight highest ranked players from the Challenge Tour Order of Merit, who did not earn a Tour Card for the 2024 season, qualified for the first round of the 2024 UK Open.
The Challenge Tour rankings were additionally used to top up Players Championship events when not all 128 Tour Card holders choose to enter.
