This year there were 45 PDC Pro Tour events – 37 Players Championships and 8 UK Open Qualifiers.
Prize money for each Players Championship (excluding Australia and Canada) and UK Open Qualifier increased from £29,600 in 2009 to £31,200 in 2010.
Prize money for Australian and Canadian Players Championships remained unchanged at £21,600 per event.
In addition, £400 per Pro Tour event was reserved for a nine-dart finish.
These were mainly smaller events with low prize money, and some had eligibility restrictions.
