The 2024 NEO.bet Austrian Darts Open is the fifth of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2024 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament is taking place at the Steiermarkhalle, Premstätten, Austria from 26 to 28 April 2024. It features a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.

Jonny Clayton is the defending champion after defeating Josh Rock 8–6 in the 2023 final.^[1]

Prize money

The prize fund remained at £175,000, with £30,000 to the winner:^[2]

Stage (num. of players)		Prize money
Winner	(1)	£30,000
Runner-up	(1)	£12,000
Semi-finalists	(2)	£8,500
Quarter-finalists	(4)	£6,000
Third round losers	(8)	£4,000
Second round losers	(16)	£2,500*
First round losers	(16)	£1,250*

Total	£175,000

Pre-qualified players from the Orders of Merit who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.^[3]^[4]

Qualification and format

A massive overhaul in the qualification for the 2024 European Tour events was announced on 7 January.^[5]

For the first time, both the PDC Order of Merit and the PDC ProTour Order of Merit rankings were used to determine 32 of the 48 entrants for the event.

The top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit qualified, along with the highest 16 ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit (after the PDC Order of Merit players were removed). From those 32 players, the 16 highest ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit were seeded for the event.

The seedings were confirmed on 4 April.^[6]

The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 10 April), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (to be held on 25 April), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Nation Qualifier (held on 5 April) and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 6 April).

Luke Humphries and Gary Anderson withdrew and were replaced by Richard Veenstra and Ricky Evans. Krzysztof Ratajski and Joe Cullen moved up to become the 15th and 16th seeds respectively.^[7]

The following players are taking part in the tournament:
