Qualifying

PDC Qualifying Tournaments

At most sixteen players could qualify through this method, where the position in the list depicts the priority of the qualification. As the list of qualifiers from the main tournaments produced fewer than sixteen players, the field of sixteen players is filled from the reserve lists. The first list consists of the winners from 2019 European Tour events, in which the winners are ordered by number of event wins then in Order of Merit position order at the cut-off date. If there were still less than sixteen qualified players after the winners of European Tour events are added, then the winners of 2019 Players Championships events would have been added, firstly by winners of multiple events followed by Order of Merit order, but that was not needed for this year's competition.
