For most of the time since its inception in 2012, the majority of PDC European Tour events have been held in Germany. The only exception being in 2021, when owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the only two events held that year took place in Hungary and Gibraltar. In 2025, half of the 14 events will be held in Germany. ==Prize money==

Records and statistics

Total finalist appearances Nine-dart finishes Twenty-one nine-darters have been thrown on the European Tour. The first one was thrown by Michael Smith in the inaugural tournament in Austria in 2012. After a gap of just over 5 years between nine-darters, the so-called "Curse of Ross Smith" hung over the European Tour, named after Smith, who got his in the 2013 Gibraltar Darts Trophy. Since Michael van Gerwen broke the curse at the 2018 European Darts Matchplay, there have been fourteen more nine-dart finishes. ==References==
