The 2017 Gibraltar Darts Trophy was the fifth of twelve European Tour events on the 2017 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at Victoria Stadium, Gibraltar from 12 to 14 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 Dave Chisnall 6–2 in the 2016 tournament, but he decided not to enter this tournament.
Michael Smith won his fourth PDC European Tour title by defeating Mensur Suljović 6–4 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 (held on 4 May), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 11 May), one from the Nordic & Baltic Qualifier (held on 17 March) and one from the East European Qualifier (held on 29 April).
Following the withdrawal of Adrian Lewis the day before the event started for family reasons, the number of Host Nation Qualifiers was increased from four to five.
