2025 International Darts Open

The 2025 International Darts Open, known as the 2025 Elten Safety Shoes International Darts Open for sponsorship reasons,^[1] was a professional darts tournament that took place at the SACHSENarena in Riesa, Germany from 4–6 April 2025. It was the third of fourteen PDC European Tour events on the 2025 PDC Pro Tour. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.

Martin Schindler was the defending champion after defeating Gerwyn Price 8–5 in the 2024 final.^[2][3] However, he lost to Nathan Aspinall 7–4 in the semi-finals.

Stephen Bunting won his first European Tour title by defeating Aspinall 8–5 in the final.^[4][5]

The prize fund remained at £175,000, with £30,000 to the winner:^[6]

• Pre-qualified players from the Orders of Merit who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.^[7][8]

In a change from the previous year, the top 16 on the two-year main PDC Order of Merit ranking will now be seeded and enter the tournament in the second round, while the 16 qualifiers from the one-year PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit ranking will enter in the first round.^[9][10] The seedings were confirmed on 12 February.^[11]

The remaining 16 places will go to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 19 February),^[12] four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 8 February),^[13] one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 15 February)^[14] and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 2 February).^[15]

Daryl Gurney withdrew and was replaced by Callan Rydz.^[16]

After the draw was made, Michael van Gerwen withdrew and was replaced by Richard Veenstra, who went straight in at the second round.^[17] Rob Cross also withdrew, but too late for a replacement to be put in, meaning the winner of the first round match between Martin Schindler and Thomas Lovely received a bye to the third round.
