Tour cards

Main article: List of players with a 2018 PDC Tour Card

The 2018 Tour Cards are awarded to:^[1]

• (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2018 World Championship.
  • Phil Taylor resigned his card, and therefore, Martin Schindler moved into the top 64.
• (24) 24 qualifiers from 2017 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.
• (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2016 Challenge Tour (Rob Cross^{[lower-alpha 1]} and Ryan Searle).
• (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2016 Development Tour (Ross Twell and Aden Kirk).
• (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2017 Challenge Tour (Wayne Jones and Mark Dudbridge).
• (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2017 Development Tour (Luke Humphries and Adam Hunt).^{[lower-alpha 2]}
• (12) The 12 qualifiers from the 2018 Qualifying Schools.

Afterwards, the playing field will be complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players had been reached. In 2018, that means that a total of 21 players will qualify this way.

1. Rob Cross is in the top 64 of the Order of Merit, and therefore, one extra Tour Card was awarded to a Q-School qualifier.
2. Dimitri Van den Bergh is also in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit, and therefore, a Pro Tour Card was awarded to Adam Hunt, who finished third on the Development Tour Order of Merit.

Q-School

In a change to previous years, The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into a UK and European Q-School.^[2] Players that are not from Europe can choose which Q-School they want to compete in.

• The UK Q-School took place at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan from 18–21 January.
• The European Q-School took place at the Halle 39 in Hildesheim from 18–21 January.

The following players won two-year tour cards on each of the days played:

18 January	19 January	20 January	21 January
UK Q-School
Eddie Dootson  Corey Cadby	Alan Tabern  Robert Owen	Arron Monk  George Killington	Bradley Brooks  Dawson Murschell
435 contestants	436 contestants	430 contestants	407 contestants
European Q-School
Jeffrey de Zwaan	Mario Robbe	Tytus Kanik	Gabriel Clemens
172 contestants	174 contestants	175 contestants	156 contestants
Total
607 contestants	610 contestants	605 contestants	563 contestants

An Order of Merit was also created for each Q School. For every win after the first full round (without byes) the players get awarded 1 point.

To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, places were allocated down the final Qualifying School Order of Merits in proportion to the number of entrants. The following players picked up Tour Cards as a result:

UK Q-School Order of Merit  Nathan Aspinall  Ross Smith  Terry Temple  Ryan Harrington  Simon Stevenson  Gary Eastwood  John Goldie  Matthew Edgar  Ryan Meikle  Ryan Joyce  Kevin Burness  Tony Newell  Luke Woodhouse  Peter Hudson  Mark Wilson

European Q-School Order of Merit  Danny Noppert  Robert Marijanović  Dirk van Duijvenbode  Vincent Kamphuis  José Justicia  Davy Van Baelen

UK Open Qualifiers

This would turn out to be the last year in which qualifiers for the UK Open would take place, as from the 2019 UK Open, all Tour Card holders would automatically qualify for the tournament.^[3]
