* (64) The top 64 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2024 World Championship.
* (25) 25 qualifiers from 2023 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.

Afterwards, the playing field was complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q-School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players was reached. In 2024, that meant that a total of 23 additional players qualified this way.

Q-School

The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into a UK and European Q-School. Players that are not from Europe could choose which Q-School to compete in.

Stage One took place between 8–10 January; with the Final Stage being held between 11 and 14 January. The winner of each day's play in the Final Stage will be given a PDC Tour Card.

The UK Q-School was held at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, England; with the European Q-School held at Wunderland Kalkar in Kalkar, Germany.

An Order of Merit was created for each Q School. For every win after the Last 64, the players will be awarded 1 point. The top ten from the UK rankings and top thirteen from the Europe rankings, excluding those who won their cards outright, will win a Tour Card.
