The 2017 European Darts Grand Prix was the fourth of twelve European Tour events on the 2017 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at Glaspalast, Sindelfingen, Germany, between 5–7 May. It featured a field of 48 players and £135,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.
Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion, after defeating Peter Wright 6–2 in the final of the 2016 tournament, but Wright sought revenge by defeating Van Gerwen 6–0 in the final.
This is how the prize money is divided:
The top 16 players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 27 April automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.
The remaining 32 places went to players from five qualifying events - 18 from the UK Qualifier (held in Wigan on 28 April), eight from the West/South European Qualifier, four from the Home Nation Qualifier (both held on 4 May), one from the Nordic & Baltic Qualifier (held on 17 March) and one from the East European Qualifier (held on 29 April).
