The Professional Darts Players Association has extended the Hardship Fund for players during the ongoing suspension of tournaments through May and June.
An Emergency Fund was announced at the end of March to assist Tour Card Holders with a one-off £1,000 payment for those suffering a negative financial impact due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
A Hardship Fund, supported by the PDC, was also announced for any Tour Card Holders who required further financial support, and following a budgetary review the PDPA will now be extending this to payments of £1,000 per month in May and June.
Monies receives from the Hardship Fund would be repaid to the PDPA from future PDC prize money earnings.
In a statement to Tour Card Holders, the PDPA said: "It is hoped that this continued support goes some way to confirming the PDPA's commitment to you as members.
"The aim of this initiative is to put much-needed funds in the bank accounts of players who are genuinely struggling financially due to the Covid-19 pandemic."
Further details of the PDPA/PDC Hardship Fund can be found on the PDPA website, with details also being sent to Tour Card Holders by email.
The PDC and PDPA are continuing to monitor the global situation, with the PDPA's support network including financial and accountancy advice for players and partnerships with other organisations, including Sporting Chance.
