Multiple World Champion and darts legend Raymond van Barneveld will return to the global stage at the inaugural Bahrain Darts Masters in January as the latest addition to the event’s stellar line-up.

It was also announced today that rising star and world number five Luke Humphries will make his World Series of Darts debut in Bahrain.

A 16-player field will compete in the World Series of Darts event at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) on 12 and 13 January, as eight PDC stars come up against eight Asian representatives.

BIC and CBX have teamed up with PDC to bring the World Series of Darts to Bahrain for the first time, in partnership with Bahrain Tourism and Exhibition Authority, with BIC’s dome tent hosting the two-day event.

Tickets are available now through bahraingp.com with a 15 per cent Early Bird discount in place until 18 December.

World Champions Peter Wright, Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross will also compete in Bahrain, alongside reigning Grand Slam of Darts champion Michael Smith and two-time World Series winner Dimitri Van den Bergh.

Five-time World Champion Van Barneveld will mark his return to the World Series of Darts stage, with the Dutch legend last appearing in 2019 ahead of his short-lived retirement.

Shooting star Humphries will also make his debut in an international World Series of Darts event, marking his rise to fifth on the PDC Order of Merit during a superb 2022 on the circuit.

The eight Asian representatives will include two qualifiers from Bahrain who will be determined from knockouts, to be held on 17 and 18 December.

The final PDC representative will be confirmed in due course. Tickets for the Bahrain Darts Masters can be purchased from bahraingp.com.
