Schedule Austrian Darts Open 2025: Joyce, White, Ratajski and Gilding in action on Friday afternoon

The European Tour is visiting the Austrian city of Graz this weekend, hosting the 11th edition of the Austrian Darts Open. Friday afternoon the first eight matches from the first round will be played.

The Austrian Darts Open was once the first Euro Tour tournament to be held. Justin Pipe crowned himself winner of the very first Euro Tour event in PDC history in 2012. Michael van Gerwen (2013) and Vincent van der Voort (2014) then provided Dutch successes in Austria before Phil Taylor won the 2016 edition. Van Gerwen eventually triumphed four times, as he also picked up wins in 2017, 2019 and 2022. Jonny Clayton was the best in 2018 and 2023, while Littler ran away with the title in 2024.

In the first match of the tournament, Patrick Geeraets will make his Euro Tour debut against Matt Campbell. Geeraets had not originally qualified for this event, but due to four withdrawals the Dutchman was allowed to advance.

Next up is Krzysztof Ratajski, who takes on Mickey Mansell. Next, Ian White faces Madars Razma, before Andrew Gilding and Chris Landman battle each other for a spot in the last 32 at the Austrian Darts Open.

Thibault Tricole, another alternate, will battle Host Nation Qualifier Christian Goedl. European Darts Trophy finalist Ryan Joyce meets Teemu Harju, while Ricardo Pietreczko faces Tom Bissell. The final match of the afternoon session is between Matthew Dennant and Rowby-John Rodriguez.

TV Guide

The tournament will be broadcast by Viaplay and PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Austrian Darts Open consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 1 p.m., while the evening sessions start at 7 p.m.

The first round will take place on Saturday. The 16 Pro Tour players are then paired with one of the 16 players who managed to get through the various qualifying tournaments. The top-16 seeded players enter the tournament on Sunday in the second round. The denouement of the tournament follows on Monday, with the third round first in the afternoon session. Monday night the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals will follow.

Distribution of prize money

All participants starting from the first round are guaranteed £1250 in prize money, while the top-16 enter from the second round and receive £2,500 anyway. This amount eventually rises to the grand prize of £30,000 for the winner.

An important detail is that players who are automatically seeded via the Order of Merit and lose their first match will not be awarded prize money on the various rankings. This does apply to qualifiers who are later designated as seeded by the withdrawal of others.
