European Tour 10 Tips

He has had a phenomenal 2025, winning major tournaments like the World Matchplay and the World Championship. His consistent high averages and ability to perform under pressure make him a top contender in any event.

I choose this because he is a phenomenal talent who is always on the cusp of a major title. He has shown flashes of brilliance and is more than capable of beating anyone on his day. A good run here could be the breakout tournament he's been building towards.

Stephen Bunting has had a phenomenal 2025, winning a Premier League night and the Nordic Darts Masters. His recent victory at a Players Championship event (PC25) just days before this tournament shows he is in peak form. Bunting's game is characterized by a smooth, high-scoring rhythm and efficient checkout work. He is a very consistent player who doesn't have the same wild swings in form as some of his peers. The European Tour format suits his methodical, high-average game. His recent success and proven ability to beat the world's best, including a World Series victory over Rob Cross and a Premier League win, make him a serious threat.

No ET wins so far for van Veen, but he has two finals, one of them this year in ET4. A player that can catch fire and win this tournament on a good week.

Rob Cross won the ET event in each of the two previous years. So far, he hasn't won it in 2025, but overall he has had a good season, so he is likely to get this trophy as well.

Heta is very good at these tournaments and won several of them in his career and will try to win another one. I predict he can surprise.
