The 2017 Dutch Darts Masters was the ninth of twelve PDC European Tour events on the 2017 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at MECC Maastricht, Maastricht, Netherlands, from 1 to 3 September 2017. It featured a field of 48 players and £135,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.
Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion after defeating Daryl Gurney 6–2 in the final of the 2016 tournament, and he retained his title for the 4th consecutive year by defeating Steve Beaton 6–1 in the final.
9 of the 16 seeds lost their first match, thus resulting in the most seeds losing in the secomd round of a European Tour event (since the adaption of 16 seeds in the second round in 2014) until the 2019 Czech Darts Open which then saw 11 out of 16 seeds lost in their opening match.
