The 2010 PDC Pro Tour
was a series of non-televised darts
tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation
(PDC). They were Professional Dart Players Association
(PDPA) Players Championships and UK Open Qualifiers. This year there were 45 PDC Pro Tour events - 37 Players Championships and 8 UK Open Qualifiers.
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 reverted to £400 for the next event.
