The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), a privately owned UK-based company founded in 1992, is the governing body for professional darts. Employing approximately 50 people, the PDC organizes and promotes professional darts tournaments, distributing roughly £7 million in prize money annually as of 2023. Its primary business is the staging and management of spectator sports events centered around professional darts competition.
The Professional Darts Corporation announced a new qualifying structure that will ensure a minimum of four women compete in the 2025-2026 World Darts Championship. This follows the 2019 World Darts Championship where Fallon Sherrock became the first woman to win a match. The 2024-2025 World Darts Championship will feature an expanded field of 128 players, up from 96, with a £5 million prize pot and a £1 million winner's prize. Additionally, a new broadcast deal with NBC Sports will bring select PDC events, including the World Darts Championship in December, to NBC's Peacock streaming service in the US. This includes live coverage of the Premier League Play-Offs, US Darts Masters, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts, and the World Darts Championship. Jim Long, a retired autoworker, obtained a Professional Darts Corporation tour card in January and competed in Europe beginning February 6th.
