The 2025 German Darts Grand Prix, known as the 2025 Elten Safety Shoes German Darts Grand Prix for sponsorship reasons,^[1] was a professional darts tournament taking place at the Kulturhalle Zenith in Munich, Germany from 19–21 April 2025. It was the fourth of fourteen PDC European Tour events on the 2025 PDC Pro Tour. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.

Luke Humphries was the defending champion after defeating Michael van Gerwen 8–1 in the 2024 final.^[2][3] Humphries decided not to participate in the tournament, thus did not defend his title.

Van Gerwen beat Gian van Veen 8–5 in the final to win the tournament for the fourth time, his 38th European Tour title in all.^[4]

In the fifth leg of his third-round match against Ryan Searle, Van Gerwen hit his fourth nine-darter on the European Tour.

The prize fund remained at £175,000, with £30,000 to the winner:^[5]

• Pre-qualified players from the Orders of Merit who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.^[6][7]

In a change from the previous year, the top 16 on the two-year main PDC Order of Merit ranking will now be seeded and enter the tournament in the second round, while the 16 qualifiers from the one-year PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit ranking will enter in the first round.^[8][9] The seedings were confirmed on 12 February.^[10]

The remaining 16 places will go to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 19 February),^[11] four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 9 February),^[12] one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 28 March) and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 2 February).^[13]

Luke Humphries, Nathan Aspinall and Dimitri Van den Bergh withdrew and were replaced by Madars Razma, Kim Huybrechts and Mensur Suljović. Michael Smith, Ryan Searle and Joe Cullen moved up to become the 14th, 15th and 16th seeds respectively.^[14]

The following players took part in the tournament:
