The Grand Slam of Darts 2017 is a major tournament in darts and was held from November 11th to 19th for the eleventh time this year by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). As in the previous year, the venue was the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton .
The tournament victory was secured by the Dutchman Michael van Gerwen , who prevailed in the final with 16: 12- legs against the Scot Peter Wright .
format
The Grand Slam of Darts is the only tournament of the year in which both PDC and BDO players take part. Of the 32 participating players, 24 come from the PDC and eight from the BDO.
The players were first drawn into eight groups of four, for which the players were divided into four different pots during the draw. In the groups, the players determined the placement of the group stage in the "everyone against everyone" mode. The best two in each group made it to the round of 16, from where the winner of the tournament was determined in the knockout system . The game mode increased from best of 9 legs in the group phase to best of 19 legs in the round of 16 to best of 31 legs in the quarter finals up to the final.
Prize money
The tournament paid out £ 50,000 more than last year. The total prize money of £ 450,000 was distributed as follows:
position | Prize money |
---|---|
winner | £ 110,000 |
finalist | £ 55,000 |
Semi-finalists | £ 28,500 |
Quarter finalists | £ 16,000 |
Round of 16 players | £ 10,000 |
3rd place group stage | £ 5,000 |
4th place group stage | £ 3,000 |
Bonus group win | £ 2,500 |

Consequently, qualified for the Grand Slam of Darts 2017:
- The 16 winners and finalists of the PDC Major Finals (in chronological order) as well as the winners of the European Tour Events and the best placed winners of the Players Championship Events in the world , insofar as 16 players did not come together with the winners and finalists of the Major Finals
- The 8 winners of the PDC qualification tournament
- The total of 8 BDO qualifiers from the world champion to the World Cup finalist to the winners of the two TV major and the four best-placed players in the BDO rankings
