2025 German Darts Grand Prix
Updated: 12/16/2025, 9:05:30 PM Wikipedia source
The 2025 German Darts Grand Prix (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2025 Elten Safety Shoes German Darts Grand Prix) was a professional darts tournament that took place at the Kulturhalle Zenith in Munich, Germany from 19–21 April 2025. It was the fourth of fourteen PDC European Tour events on the 2025 PDC Pro Tour. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner. Luke Humphries was the defending champion after defeating Michael van Gerwen 8–1 in the 2024 final. Humphries decided not to participate in the tournament, thus did not defend his title. Van Gerwen beat Gian van Veen 8–5 in the final to win the tournament for the fourth time, his 38th European Tour title in all. In the fifth leg of his third-round match against Ryan Searle, Van Gerwen hit his fourth nine-darter on the European Tour.
