The 2025 European Darts Grand Prix gets underway in Sindelfingen on Friday – the latest European Tour event on the PDC Pro Tour – and there’s £175,000 up for grabs in prize money.

Glaspalast in Sindelfingen, , plays host to the sixth of 14 PDC European Tour events on the 2025 PDC Pro Tour this weekend, where the world’s best will battle it out for the European Darts Grand Prix title.

It will be the 11th edition of the tournament, having been formed in 2014, with Michael van Gerwen being the only player to have ever won the event on more than one occasion (2016 and 2018).

Gary Anderson came out on top last year, but who will reign supreme this time around?

European Darts Grand Prix Winner Will Earn £30,000 In Prize Money

The European Darts Grand Prix gets underway in Sindelfingen on Friday, in what is the sixth Euro Tour event of the year.

Starting in March with the Belgian Open, there have been five different winners across the five events on the tour thus far in 2025, with Martin ‘The Wall’ Schindler prevailing at the Austrian Open last time out.

Other tournament winners include Luke Littler, Nathan Aspinall, Stephen Bunting and Michael van Gerwen.

Littler, Aspinall, Van Gerwen and co have protected status at the European Darts Grand Prix due to their position in the top 16 of the world rankings, and will therefore enter the tournament in the second round. Pro Tour qualifiers such as Schindler, Wessel Nijman and Raymond van Barneveld have to start the tournament from the first round.

As is the case with all 14 European Tour events this year, there is £175,000 up for grabs this weekend, with the winner securing an enticing £30,000 in prize money for their efforts. Check out the full prize pot breakdown below.
