2009 PDC Pro Tour


The 2009 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. They consisted of Professional Dart Players Association Players Championships and UK Open Regional Finals.

Prize money

In addition, £400 per Pro Tour event was reserved for a nine-dart finish. Should this not be won in an event, it would be carried over to the next event, and so on until a nine-dart finish is achieved. Once the prize fund is won, it will revert to £400 for the next event.

Players Championships
