2025 PDC World Darts Championship Begins Sunday

The 2025 PDC World Darts Championship is set to commence at Alexandra Palace, with reigning champion Luke Humphries and teenage sensation Luke Littler as top contenders. Littler, who made history last year by reaching the finals at just 16, is tipped as the favorite with odds of 2/1, while Humphries follows closely at 3/1. The tournament features a prize pot of £2.5 million, with the winner receiving £500,000 and a special £180,000 bonus for any nine-dart finish. Other notable players include Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson, and Michael Smith, who are all competing for the top prize. In contrast, the Scottish Open snooker event is currently ongoing in Edinburgh, with top players like Mark Selby and John Higgins competing despite high-profile withdrawals from Ronnie O’Sullivan and others.
