PDC Tour Card
128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships, UK Open Qualifiers and European Tour events.
Tour Cards
The 2016 Tour Cards are awarded to:
- (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2017 World Championship.
- (30) The 30 of 30 qualifiers from 2016 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 and Ryan Searle).
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2016 Development Tour (
Dean Reynolds and Ross Twell).
- (1) Two highest qualifiers from 2015 Challenge Tour (
Jan Dekker and Richie Corner).
- Jan Dekker is also in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit, and therefore, one extra Tour Card was awarded to a Q-School qualifier.
- (2) Two highest qualifiers from 2015 Development Tour (

Mike de Decker and Berry van Peer).
- (1) The winner of the 2016 Scandinavian Order of Merit (
Kim Viljanen).
- (16) The 16 qualifiers from 2016 Q-School.
Afterwards, the playing field was 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 2017, that meant a total of 10 players qualified this way.

The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School takes place at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan from January 19–22. The following players won two-year tour cards on each of the days played:
