2019 German Darts Championship


The 2019 German Darts Championship was the second of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2019 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at Halle 39, Hildesheim, Germany, from 29–31 March 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 James Wilson 8–6 in the final of the 2018 tournament, but he was defeated 6–4 in the second round by Keegan Brown.
Daryl Gurney won his first European Tour title, by defeating Ricky Evans 8–6 in the final.
James Wade hit the second nine-dart finish of the 2019 European Tour season in his third round defeat to Darren Webster.

Prize money

This is how the prize money is divided:
The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 12 February will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.
The remaining 32 places will go to players from six qualifying events – 18 from the UK Tour Card Holder Qualifier, six from the European Tour Card Holder Qualifier, two from the West & South European Associate Member Qualifier, four from the Host Nation Qualifier, one from the Nordic & Baltic Qualifier and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier.
From 2019, the Host Nation, Nordic & Baltic and East European Qualifiers will only be available to non-tour card holders. Any tour card holders from the applicable regions will have to play the main European Qualifier. The only exceptions being that the Nordic & Baltic qualifiers for the first 3 European Tour events took place in late 2018, before the new ruling was announced.
Michael Smith, who was set to be the 8th seed, withdrew prior to the tournament draw. All seeds below him moved up a place, with James Wilson becoming sixteenth seed, and an extra place being made available in the host nation qualifier.
