PDC European Tour
The PDC European Tour is a series of darts tournaments held across Europe organized by the Professional Darts Corporation. Starting in 2012 with five events, the number of events has steadily risen with eight held in 2013 and 2014, nine in 2015, ten in 2016, twelve in 2017, thirteen in both 2018 and 2019, and thirteen once more in 2020. These events see the top players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit compete against players from six different regional qualifiers. Currently the prize fund for each tournament is £140,000, with £25,000 going to the winner. These events differ to others held on the Pro Tour as they are played on one board in front of an audience. They are not televised, but are streamed on the PDC's subscription service.

Records and statistics
Total finalist appearances
Nine-dart finishes
Twelve nine-darters have been thrown on the European Tour. The first one was thrown by Michael Smith in the inaugural tournament in Austria in 2012.After a gap of just over 5 years between nine-darters, the so-called "Curse of Ross Smith" hung over the European Tour, named after Smith, who got his in the 2013 Gibraltar Darts Trophy. Since Michael van Gerwen broke the curse at the 2018 European Darts Matchplay, there have been five more nine-dart finishes.
