The 2010 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). They were Professional Dart Players Association (PDPA) Players Championships and UK Open Qualifiers. This year there were 45 PDC Pro Tour events - 37 Players Championships and 8 UK Open Qualifiers.

Prize money

Prize money for each Players Championship (excluding Australia and Canada) and UK Open Qualifier increased from £29,600 in 2009 to £31,200 in 2010. Prize money for Australian and Canadian Players Championships remained unchanged at £21,600 per event.

Stage UK/Europe/USA Events Australia/Canada Events
Second round £200 £100
Third round £300 £200
Fourth round £500 £300
Quarter-finals £1,000 £700
Semi-finals £1,500 £1,250
Final £3,000 £2,500
Winner £6,000 £5,000

In addition, £400 per Pro Tour event was reserved for a nine-dart finish. Should this not be won in an event, it would be carried over to the next event, and so on until a nine-dart finish is achieved. Once the prize fund is won, it reverted to £400 for the next event.
