Jamie Hughes was the defending champion after defeating Stephen Bunting 8–3 in the 2019 final,[1] but he failed to qualify for this tournament, so was unable to defend his title.

Luke Humphries won his second European Tour title with an 8–5 win over Rob Cross in the final.[2]

Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 29 March automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.

The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 8 April), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 24 April), the two highest ProTour ranking Czech players, two from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 12 May), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 19 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 23 April).

Fourth seed Peter Wright and Nordic and Baltic qualifier Niels Heinsøe withdrew from the tournament prior to the draw. Martin Schindler was promoted to 16th seed and two extra places were made available in the Host Nation Qualifier.[5]
