Monday Qualifier
The Monday Qualifier is the last chance to earn a spot in the 2024 European Open. There are five MPO spots and one FPO available for the European Open through the one-round Monday Qualifier.
If you think that you got what it takes but you haven’t qualified for the European Open yet, we strongly recommend you to register for the Monday Qualifier. This is your chance to earn your right to compete in the PDGA Major!
