A total of 27 players are exempt to the Final Stage at UK Qualifying School, with 21 players exempt to the Final Stage of European Qualifying School, including those who lost their Tour Cards at the end of 2023, along with a series of players from the 2023 Challenge and Development Tour Orders of Merit.

Back-to-back World Seniors champion Robert Thornton is among the star names vying to secure a return to the PDC circuit, as well as three-time World Champion John Part and Women’s Series star Fallon Sherrock – who is 11/4 to gain a Tour card for the first time.
