The 2014 European Darts Trophy was the eighth of eight PDC European Tour events on the 2014 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Kohlrabizirkus in Leipzig, Germany, between 19–21 September 2014. It featured a field of 48 players and £100,000 in prize money, with £20,000 going to the winner.

After finishing second in the previous European Tour event, Michael Smith won his first European Tour event by beating Michael van Gerwen 6–5 in the final. This tournament ended the 2014 PDC European Tour, with a different winner in each of the eight events.

Qualification and format

[edit]

The top 16 players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit Archived 2013-11-27 at archive.today on 30 June 2014 automatically qualified for the event.[2] The remaining 32 places went to players from three qualifying events - 20 from the UK Qualifier (held in Coventry on 4 July),[3] eight from the European Qualifier and four from the Host Nation Qualifier (both held at the venue the day before the event started).[4]

Gary Anderson, Phil Taylor, Robert Thornton and Adrian Lewis withdrew from the tournament, therefore the highest-ranked qualifiers - Terry Jenkins, Michael Smith, Andy Hamilton and Wes Newton - become seeded players. To complete the field of 48 players, two additional places in the draw were made available in the European Qualifier and the Home Nation Qualifier. All seeds receive a bye into the second round. [5]

The following players took part in the tournament:
