German Darts Championship 2024 prize money breakdown
Some winning players will get their prize money directly in their bank accounts without it counting toward world rankings. This year 2024, 32 super lucky players will get automatic invitations to the European Tour events. The top 16 players from the Pro Tour Order of Merit get a free pass to skip the first round in the tournament, starting directly in round two. New this year, the top 16 players in the world rankings are also invited, but they have to jump in right from the start. However, both groups must win their first match to have their prize money count toward world rankings!
