The 2025 PDC Development Tour, known as the Winmau Development Tour for sponsorship reasons, is an ongoing series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). It consists of 24 darts tournaments on the 2025 PDC Pro Tour. The series is being held over four weekends of five events, and one weekend of four events.
The Development Tour is the PDC's youth system open to all players outside of the top 64 on the PDC Order of Merit that are aged 16–24.[1] According to PDC Order of Merit Rule 6.2,[2] from 2025 players ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit are no longer eligible to play in Development Tour events, previously this was the case for players ranked inside the top 32. Players ranked outside the previously mentioned age range on the cut-off date of a Development Tour event are not eligible to enter said event.
Under PDC Order of Merit Rule 6.9, the 2025 Development Tour rewards are as follows:
- The top two players on the 2025 Development Order of Merit, who have not obtained a PDC Tour Card for the 2026 season via another method, win a two-year PDC Tour Card, for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, and qualify for the first round of the 2026 World Championship.
- The highest ranked player on the Development Tour Order of Merit, who has not qualified via another method, receives a spot at the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts.
- The players in the Top 16 of the Development Tour Order of Merit, who have not obtained a PDC Tour Card before the 2026 Qualifying School (Q–School), are granted free entry to the Final Stage of Q–School.
- The eight highest ranked players from the Development Tour Order of Merit who do not earn a Tour Card for the 2026 season qualify for the first round of the 2026 UK Open.
- The two finalists of the PDC World Youth Championship qualify for the 2026 Grand Slam of Darts. Furthermore, the winner of the PDC World Youth Championship receives a place in the first round of the 2026 World Championship.

The prize money for the Development Tour events remains the same as in 2023 and 2024.
This is how the prize money is divided:
