2025 World Grand Prix (darts)
Updated: 5/24/2026, 7:08:21 PM Wikipedia source
The 2025 World Grand Prix (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2025 BOYLE Sports World Grand Prix) was a professional darts tournament that was held at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester, England, from 6 to 12 October 2025. It was the 28th staging of the World Grand Prix by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). The total prize fund was £600,000, with the winner receiving £120,000. The tournament, sponsored by BoyleSports and played in the "double in, double out" format, featured 32 players: the top 16 players on the two-year PDC Order of Merit and the top 16 players from the one-year PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit who had not yet qualified. Wessel Nijman and Niko Springer made their debuts at the event, while two-time runner-up Dave Chisnall missed out on qualification for the first time since 2011. Mike De Decker was the defending champion, having defeated Luke Humphries 6–4 in the 2024 final, but he lost 3–0 to Luke Littler in the second round. Littler won the tournament and the first World Grand Prix title of his career by defeating Humphries 6–1 in the final. Gian van Veen broke the record for the highest three-dart average in World Grand Prix history, averaging 106 in defeat as he lost 2–0 to Littler in the first round.
