## Qualification and format

A massive overhaul in the qualification for the 2024 European Tour events was announced on 7 January.
For the first time, both the PDC Order of Merit and the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit rankings were used to determine 32 of the 48 entrants for the event.
The top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit qualified, along with the highest 16 ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit (after the PDC Order of Merit players were removed). From those 32 players, the 16 highest ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit were seeded for the event.
The seedings were confirmed on 26 July.
The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 3 August), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 26 September), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 26 July), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 2 June).
Ryan Joyce and Michael van Gerwen withdrew and were replaced by Ian White and Jim Williams. Daryl Gurney moved up to become a seed.
The following players took part in the tournament:
