Professional Darts Corporation secondary tours

The PDC secondary tours are semi-professional darts tours organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) open to players without a PDC Tour Card. The three secondary tours operated by the PDC are the Challenge Tour, Development Tour and Women's Series. Each tour consists of a year-long series of knockout tournaments which each carry their own prize money. Like the PDC Pro Tour, each of the Secondary Tours maintains its own Order of Merit which ranks players according to their total prize money won in each calendar year. Players at the top of their respective Orders of Merit are able to qualify for certain televised PDC major events such as the World Championship. In the case of the Challenge and Development Tours, the top two eligible players win PDC Tour Cards for the following season, while players on all three tours can win free entry to the following season's Q-School (the qualifying tournament for a Tour Card) by achieving a high rank.

In addition to the three secondary tours, the PDC also sanctions several Affiliate Tours, which are largely operated in regions outside of the British Isles by local organisations. The Affiliate Tours have a similar structure to the secondary tours and some offer qualification to televised tournaments. However, these qualification opportunities are fewer than those offered to the secondary tours and none offer Tour Cards.

Several PDC major winners have participated in the secondary tours, including World Champions Michael van Gerwen, Rob Cross and Luke Humphries who won secondary tours prior to their World Championship successes. Many winners of televised women's darts tournaments have won Women's Series events, including multiple-time BDO Women's World Darts Championship winners Trina Gulliver, Lisa Ashton and Mikuru Suzuki and the reigning and three-time WDF Women's World Darts Champion, Beau Greaves. In February 2025, Beau Greaves became the only player to have led all three secondary tours at the same time.
