The 2025 PDC Order of Merit Rules have now been confirmed, and include seeding amendments for the World Grand Prix and European Tour.
The PDC Order of Merit Rules - which can be viewed at this link - are the operational guidelines for PDC tournaments being staged in the 2025/26 season.
A change this year will see the World Grand Prix seedings increase to 16 players.
European Tour events will now see 16 seeds from the PDC Order of Merit exempt to the last 32 for each tournament, with the first round seeing the 16 ProTour Order of Merit qualifiers drawn against the other 16 qualifiers.
From 2025, players inside the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit will not be permitted to enter Development Tour and Women's Series events.
The World Youth Championship will see two players from each group in the round-robin phase progress to compete in an expanded knockout stage, which will now be from the last 64 onwards.
