The 2020 German Darts Championship was a PDC European Tour event on the 2020 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at Halle 39, Hildesheim, Germany. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner. It was the second event on the 2020 European Tour.

Daryl Gurney was the defending champion after defeating Ricky Evans 8–6 in the final of the 2019 tournament, but he lost 6–2 to Danny Noppert in the quarter-finals.

Devon Petersen won his first PDC title, beating Jonny Clayton 8–3 in the final, which also meant he became the first player from Africa to win a PDC ranking title outside of Africa.

Qualification and format

[edit]

The tournament used the qualifiers from the 2020 European Darts Grand Prix, which was planned to be held in March as the second tournament of the 2020 tour but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 4 February automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.[3]

The remaining 32 places go to players from four qualifying events and to two invitees – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 14 February), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 24 September), two from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 24 September), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 12 October 2019), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 8 February).

The two highest ranked German players on the Pro Tour Order of Merit on the cut-off date of 4 February also qualified.

From 2020, all Tour Card holders will enter into one qualifier instead of two separate ones for the UK and Europe. For this tournament, Daniel Larsson qualified as the Nordic & Baltic qualifier, even though he won a PDC Tour Card at 2020 Q-School, as this was due to the qualifying event taking place before Q-School.

Niels Zonneveld & Simon Stevenson withdrew prior to the draw and were replaced with additional Host Nation Qualifiers.[4]

The following players will take part in the tournament:
