From April 4 to 6, the third Euro Tour tournament of 2025 is scheduled in Riesa, Germany: the International Darts Open. This annual event is part of the European Tour and attracts a mix of the absolute world’s best and players who have managed to secure a spot through qualifications.
The top-16 of the PDC Order of Merit are automatically seeded for the tournament and will start in the second round on Saturday. Top stars such as Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price, Dimitri van den Bergh and Danny Noppert are in attendance Other big names who are among the top-16 on the seedings list include Rob Cross, Dave Chisnall, Chris Dobey, Nathan Aspinall, Peter Wright and James Wade.
Besides the top-16 of the world rankings, the top-16 of the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit have also acquired a starting spot for the International Darts Open. Based on this ranking, the likes of Gian van Veen, Raymond van Barneveld, Mike de Decker, Michael Smith, Ryan Searle, Joe Cullen and Andrew Gilding have secured a starting spot. Defending champion Martin Schindler is also among the Pro Tour qualifiers and thus must start his hunt for title prolongation in the opening round.
Two household names have decided not to accept their automatic invitation. Luke Littler and Gary Anderson have given up their starting spots and are thus missing from the Euro Tour event in Riesa.
Ten more Tour Card holders will be added to the field of participants. Through the qualifying tournament for Tour Card holders on Wednesday, Feb. 19, these starting spots will be distributed.
