It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.

Michael van Gerwen won his third Austrian Darts Open title (and his 32nd in total on the European Tour) with an 8–7 win over Ian White in the final.

This is how the prize money is divided:[1] The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 4 April will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.

From 2019, the Host Nation, Nordic & Baltic and East European Qualifiers will only be available to non-tour card holders.

Any tour card holders from the applicable regions will have to play the main European Qualifier.
