The funds were designed to help Tour Card Holders suffering financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every Tour Card Holder was welcome to apply for and receive an Emergency Fund payment and up to two Hardship Fund payments to support them through the months of April, May and June 2020.

The PDPA is delighted to have offered this support to all members and provided it to many during a time when they were unable to receive an income from professional darts.

The PDPA supports the return to tournament play in July 2020.

In the event that tournament play is suspended again for a prolonged period of time, the PDPA may consider further financial support initiatives.
