2019 Dutch Darts Masters


The 2019 Dutch Darts Masters was the seventh of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2019 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at IJsselhallen, Zwolle, Netherlands, from 24–26 May 2019. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.
Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion after defeating Steve Lennon 8–5 in the final of the 2018 tournament.
However, Ian White ended Van Gerwen's five-year winning run in the tournament by beating him 8–7 in the final to win his third European Tour title.
The result also ended Van Gerwen's 28-game winning streak in European Tour last-leg deciders.

This is how the prize money is divided:
