List of players with a 2011 PDC Tour Card

A 2011 PDC Tour Card is needed to compete in Professional Darts Corporation ProTour tournaments.

In 2008, it was announced that a Tour Card system was going to be used, comprising of 128 players, which would start in 2011.

In total 128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships events.

For the first year, it was decided that the original 128 would be made up of:

* Top 96 full PDPA members from the PDC Order of Merit (having competed in at least 10 events which are counted on the PDC Order of Merit during the preceding two years) as of 1 December 2010.
* 4 semi-finalists from the 2011 BDO World Darts Championship
* 2 finalists from the 2011 PDC World Under-21 Championship
* 2 finalists from the 2010 PDC Women's World Darts Championship
* 24 players who progress from 2011 Q-School (extra places would be awarded at Q-School, should players decline their cards.)

In December 2010, a rule change meant that the Top 96 after the last Players Championship event in 2010, and not after the 2011 PDC World Darts Championship would get their Tour Cards. To compensate, the 5 players who were disadvantaged by this ruling were allowed to keep their cards, along with the 5 who benefitted from the change, meaning that the Top 101 players on the Order of Merit would receive Tour Cards.

Also, all 4 BDO semi-finalists declined their Tour Cards, so they were made available at Q-School.

For this first year, the top 96 would keep their earnings, but only be on a one-year card, with all the others receiving two-year cards, but having their earnings start at £0. At the end of 2011, only the Top 64 on the Order of Merit would keep their cards, plus the players who earned their cards at the start of 2011.

Chris Mason, David Fatum, Lionel Sams, and Scott Burnett all didn't take up their Tour Cards, and were replaced by Pär Riihonen, Dave Smith, Stuart Dutton and Scott Rand.
