Steve Beaton wint eerste grote titel van dit seizoen
De titel van de zevende European Tour is gewonnen door Steve Beaton. In het Duitse Sindelfingen won Beaton zijn eerste grote titel van dit seizoen door in de finale Mervyn King met 6-5 te kloppen. Beaton stak dit weekeinde bloedvorm en gaf tot aan de finale slechts 4 legs af. Mareno Michels zette de beste Nederlandse prestatie neer door de kwartfinale van dit toernooi te halen. In de kwartfinale ging hij helaas met een 6-0 nederlaag hard onderuit. Wayne Jones klopte Mareno doch verloor in de halve finale van Mervyn King. Mareno klopte in de ronde voor een plaats bij de laatste 8 Vincent van der Voort. Michael van Gerwen en Raymond van Barneveld kwamen niet verder dan de laatste 32.
