The 2021 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). Players Championships and European Tour events are the events that make up the Pro Tour. There were 32 PDC Pro Tour events held, 30 Players Championships and 2 European Tour events, and in a change to previous years, the Challenge and Development Tours were split with 12 UK and European editions each.
Prize money
The prize money for the Players Championship and European Tour events was unchanged from the 2020 levels.

PDC Tour Card
128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships events, the UK Open and qualifiers for all European Tour and select other televised events.
Tour cards
The 2021 Tour Cards are awarded to:
- (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2021 World Championship.
- Harry Ward resigned his card, and therefore, Mark McGeeney moved into the top 64.[2]
- Kyle Anderson resigned his card, and therefore, Maik Kuivenhoven moved into the top 64.[3]
- (27) 27 qualifiers from 2020 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2019 Challenge Tour (Callan Rydz and Jesús Noguera).
- (2) The highest qualifiers from 2019 Development Tour (Ryan Meikle and Ciarán Teehan).
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2020 Challenge Tour (David Evans and Ritchie Edhouse).
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2020 Development Tour (Keane Barry and Berry van Peer).
- (8) The daily winners from the 2021 Qualifying Schools.[4]
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 2021, that means that a total of 21 additional players will qualify this way.
Q-School
The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) were split into a UK and European Q-School. Players that are not from Europe could choose which Q-School they wanted to compete in.
In a change from previous years, Q-School were split into two stages; with all players who lost their tour cards after the 2021 World Championship and the top sixteen players from the 2020 Challenge Tour and Development Tour Orders of Merit exempted to the final stage. The first stage would consist of two blocks of three days (with a maximum of 256 players per block) with the last four players from each block qualifying into the final stage. A ranking of other players will also be produced with players qualifying via that ranking to produce a full list of 128 players for each final stage.
Stage One took place in two blocks between 8–10 February & 11–13 February; with the Final Stage held between 14 and 17 February. The winner of each day's play were given a PDC Tour Card.
The UK Q-School was held at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, England; with the European Q-School held at the H+ Hotel, Niedernhausen, Germany.[5]
| UK Q-School | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| February 14 | February 15 | February 16 | February 17 |

| European Q-School | |||
| February 14 | February 15 | February 16 | February 17 |
| 128 players | 127 players | 122 players | 113 players |
An Order of Merit was also created for each Q School. For every win after the Last 64 the players will be awarded 1 point.
To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, places will be allocated down the final Qualifying School Order of Merits in proportion to the number of participants,[6] with 13 cards going to the UK Q-School and 8 going to the European Q-School.
The following players picked up Tour Cards as a result:
|
UK Q-School Order of Merit

European Q-School Order of Merit

Players Championships
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic still being active, Players Championship events were again put into blocks, this time of 4 events, as opposed to 5 in 2020, with the first 20 Players Championship events being referred to as PDC Super Series 1–5. The final 10 events were split into 3 Super Series events (6–8), with 4 events in Super Series 7 and 3 in Super Series 6 and 8.
