The 2024 Elten Safety Shoes Dutch Darts Championship was the seventh of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2024 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Autotron, Rosmalen, Netherlands from 24 to 26 May 2024. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.

Dave Chisnall was the defending champion after defeating Luke Humphries 8–5 in the 2023 final, but lost to Jonny Clayton 6–3 in the third round.

Josh Rock won his first European Tour title by beating Jonny Clayton 8–4 in the final. Rock became the second Northern Irish player to win a European Tour event.[1]

Ross Smith hit his second nine-darter on the European Tour, and first for 11 years, in his second-round defeat to Dimitri Van den Bergh.[2]

Qualification and format

[edit]

A massive overhaul in the qualification for the 2024 European Tour events was announced on 7 January.[6]

For the first time, both the PDC Order of Merit and the PDC ProTour Order of Merit rankings were used to determine 32 of the 48 entrants for the event.

The top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit qualified, along with the highest 16 ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit (after the PDC Order of Merit players were removed). From those 32 players, the 16 highest ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit were seeded for the event.

The seedings were confirmed on 1 May.[7]

The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (to be held on 8 May), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (to be held on 23 May), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Nation Qualifier (held on the 6 April) and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on the 7 April).

Michael Smith and Nathan Aspinall withdrew and were replaced by Ritchie Edhouse and Jermaine Wattimena. Jonny Clayton moved up to become the 16th seed.[8]

The following players took part in the tournament:
