Darts Masters next week - with stars Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey set to make their debuts in the PDC World Series of Darts event following the confirmation of the 16-player field.
Littler marked his arrival on the global stage with a nine-darter on his way to victory at the Bahrain Darts Masters 12 months ago, following his amazing run to the 2023/24 World Championship final.
The teenager lifted the unique date palm trophy in the Bahrain International Circuit’s Dome to celebrate his success in the two-day PDC World Series of Darts event, and went on to win the Premier League and Grand Slam before last week’s amazing 2024/25 World Championship triumph.
Littler will make his return to action to headline the now-confirmed 16-player field for this year’s third edition of the Bahrain Darts Masters, which will take place on January 16- 17 - tickets are available now through bahraingp.com.
Littler is joined in this year’s Bahrain Darts Masters by seven other top PDC stars - led by world number one Luke Humphries, who won the New Zealand Darts Masters on the World Series circuit last August.
World Championship semi-finalists Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey will make their first visits to Bahrain to compete in the event, following their Alexandra Palace success recently and their inclusion in the 2025 Premier League.
In addition, former World Champions Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright return to Bahrain alongside popular star Nathan Aspinall, the 2023 World Matchplay champion.
The eight Asian Representatives include six stars from the PDC Asian Tour who also took part in the World Championship recently, alongside Bahrain Qualifiers Basem Mahmood and Abdulla Saeed.
PDC Asian Champion Lourence Ilagan is joined by fellow Filipino stars Alexis Toylo and Paolo Nebrida, while there are also places for Chinese number one Xiaochen Zong, Hong Kong’s Lok Yin Lee and top Indian star Nitin Kumar.
The Bahrain Darts Masters is organised by BIC and sports promoter CBX and supported by Bahrain Tourism & Exhibitions Authority (BTEA).
The event’s growing popularity is shown by record ticket sales in advance of the third Bahrain Darts Masters.
Premium seating tickets, which include stage-side tables, are available, as well as VIP hospitality for the event.
