The 2024 NEO.bet European Darts Grand Prix was the fourth of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2024 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Glaspalast, Sindelfingen, Germany from 19 to 21 April 2024. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.

Rob Cross was the defending champion after defeating Luke Humphries 8–6 in the 2023 final. [1] He was eliminated in the semi final, losing 5–7 to eventual winner Gary Anderson.

Gary Anderson won his first European Tour title since the 2014 German Darts Championship, defeating Ross Smith 8–6 in the final. [2]

The prize fund remained at £175,000, with £30,000 to the winner: [3]

Stage (num. of players) Prize money
Winner (1) £30,000

* Pre-qualified players from the Orders of Merit who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event. [4] [5]

Qualification and format

A massive overhaul in the qualification for the 2024 European Tour events was announced on 7 January. [6]

For the first time, both the PDC Order of Merit and the PDC ProTour Order of Merit rankings were used to determine 32 of the 48 entrants for the event.

The top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit qualified, along with the highest 16 ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit (after the PDC Order of Merit players were removed). From those 32 players, the 16 highest ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit were seeded for the event.

The seedings were confirmed on 16 February. [7]

The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 21 February), [8] four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 18 February), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 4 April), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 11 February).

Nathan Aspinall and Dimitri Van den Bergh withdrew and were replaced by Ian White and Niels Zonneveld. [9]
