2020 European Darts Grand Prix
The 2020 European Darts Grand Prix was the third PDC European Tour event on the 2020 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Glaspalast, Sindelfingen, Germany from 16–18 October 2020. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner. Ian White was the defending champion, after defeating Peter Wright 8–7 in the 2019 final. However, he lost 7–6 to José de Sousa in the semi-finals. De Sousa won his first European Tour title after beating Michael van Gerwen 8–4 in the final. The tournament was postponed from its original date of 20–22 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.[1] Prize moneyThis is how the prize money is divided, with the prize money being unchanged from the 2019 European Tour:[2]
