Tour Card Holder Qualifiers for European Tour Events 3-4 took place on Wednesday, as Krzysztof Ratajski and Mario Vandenbogaerde completed a qualification double in Rosmalen.
Wednesday's double-header at the Autotron saw a field of 87 players competing in the respective European Tour qualifiers, which produced ten players per event.
The International Darts Open (ET3) will be held at the WT Energiesysteme Arena in Riesa from April 4-6, while the German Darts Grand Prix (ET4) takes place in Munich from April 19-21.
Ratajski and Vandenbogaerde completed a clean sweep on Dutch soil, as Poland's number one Ratajski posted six consecutive 90+ averages to confirm his European Tour return.
Vandenbogaerde also won six straight matches at the Autotron, defeating Marvin van Velzen in each event, before fighting back from 5-1 down to stun Martin Lukeman in the penultimate round of the ET4 Qualifier.
Germany's Niko Springer headlined the list of ET3 Qualifiers, after producing a staggering 113.29 average to topple Connor Scutt 6-2 and confirm his return to home soil in Riesa.
Ratajski's compatriot Radek Szaganski also progressed alongside Czech star Karel Sedlacek, while French trailblazer Thibault Tricole denied Callan Rydz to come through European Tour qualification for the second time in three events.
Rob Owen will make his first European Tour appearance of 2025 in Riesa after seeing off Max Hopp and Jelle Klaasen respectively, with William O'Connor, Matt Campbell and Thomas Lovely completing the list of qualifiers.
The eight players who joined Ratajski and Vandenbogaerde in winning through the ET4 Qualifier included former World Championship semi-finalist Scott Williams, who conceded just four legs in wins over Sebastian Bialecki, Darren Beveridge and Benjamin Reus.
Cam Crabtree continued his strong start to his ProTour career, following up wins over German duo Kai Gotthardt and Springer by averaging 101 to defeat Bradley Brooks 6-2 and book his place in the German Darts Grand Prix.
Grand Slam of Darts semi-finalist Mickey Mansell and emerging Dutchman Kevin Doets will also feature in Munich over the Easter weekend, alongside Doets' compatriot Niels Zonneveld.
Adam Paxton and Robert Grundy will make their European Tour debuts after overcoming Dylan Slevin and Darryl Pilgrim in the final qualifying round, while Andy Boulton denied Kim Huybrechts in a last-leg decider to clinch his big stage return.
Grand Slam of Darts runner-up Lukeman landed a nine-dart finish against Tavis Dudeney in the opening round of the ET4 Qualifier, although he paid the price for surrendering a 5-1 lead against Vandenbogaerde later in the day.
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 16 ProTour Order of Merit qualifiers drawn against the other 16 qualifiers.
