The ADC Global Championship is the flagship event of the Amateur Darts Circuit, bringing together 56 players from around the world for the richest prize fund in amateur darts. Every match is broadcast live through the MODUS Super Series on Pluto TV, giving amateur players true TV-level exposure.
Inaugural Champion (2024)
The first-ever ADC Global Championship took place in 2024, and Devon Petersen made history by becoming the inaugural champion. His victory set the tone for what is now one of the most exciting non-professional championships in the sport.
Prize Fund
Total prize pool: £150,000
Winner: £60,000
Runner-up: approx. £20,000
Semi-finals: approx. £8,000
Quarter-finals: approx. £4,000
Prize money is paid out throughout the field, making it a financially significant event even for early exits.

8 groups of 7, round-robin, best of 7 legs. Top 4 from each group progress.

8 groups of 4, usually double round-robin, best of 7 legs. Only the group winners go through.

This gives amateur players unprecedented exposure on a professional broadcast platform, complete with walk-ons, interviews, and full production value.
Why It Matters
It’s one of the highest-paying amateur events in darts. It’s global. It’s televised. And it provides a genuine stepping stone towards the PDC or WDF professional systems. For many players, qualification alone is a huge achievement.
I will write a preview once we get to Stage 3 and the final 8 competitors.
