To compete in the Professional Darts Corporation pro tour tournaments one needs a Tour card.

In total 128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships, UK Open Qualifiers and European Tour events.

A tour card is valid for 2 years. The top 64 in the PDC Order of Merit and some secondary tour winners and those who won card at Q-School in 2016 still had a valid card for 2017. 28 remaining places were played out at the 2017 Qualifying-School. All players who won a card there had their Order of Merit ranking reset to zero.^[1]
