The Grand Slam of Darts brings together the best players from across both the PDC and international circuits. It's one of the most competitive and unpredictable events on the darts calendar, known for its unique group-stage format and its mix of proven champions and emerging stars.
A Brief History
The tournament was first held in 2007, created to unite champions from different organizations in one event. It's played annually in Wolverhampton, with the Aldersley Leisure Village now serving as its regular home.The early years were dominated by Phil Taylor, who won six of the first seven editions. Since then, stars like Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen, and Jonny Clayton have lifted the trophy, adding to the event's legacy.
Price, in particular, has made the tournament his own in recent times, claiming multiple Grand Slam titles and establishing himself as one of the strongest stage players in the field.
Tournament Format
The Grand Slam is unique among PDC majors. It begins with a group stage - eight groups of four players each - followed by a knockout phase. Matches are played in a leg-based format rather than sets, rewarding consistency and scoring power across a shorter span.
Each group includes top-ranked PDC players, major finalists, and invited international qualifiers, which creates early-round drama rarely seen elsewhere in the darts season.

Odds Subject to Change
The outright markets show how open this year's event could be. Luke Littler (2.87) heads the field after another run of high-scoring consistency in recent tournaments. Luke Humphries (5.50) and Gerwyn Price (8.50) follow, both proven major winners with strong records on stage.
Michael van Gerwen (11.00) and Gian van Veen (10.00) sit just behind the frontrunners, while the next tier includes Chris Dobey (15.00), Josh Rock (15.00), and Wessel Nijman (19.00) - all capable of upsetting the hierarchy if they hit form.
The dark horses include Danny Noppert (21.00), Stephen Bunting (29.00), and Nathan Aspinall (29.00), players who regularly perform deep into TV events.
Further down, experienced names like Michael Smith (34.00), Gary Anderson (41.00), and Damon Heta (51.00) offer mid-range value, while outsiders such as Martin Schindler (81.00) and Ricky Evans (51.00) could surprise in the group stages.
At long odds, the international contingent adds intrigue - Jurjen van der Velde (176.00), Beau Greaves (67.00), and Lisa Ashton (2501.00) bring different experience levels to the oche.
What to Expect
The Grand Slam's combination of short-format groups and long-format knockout matches means anything can happen. Consistent scorers and players who handle early pressure well tend to go deep. The crowd atmosphere in Wolverhampton, always loud and partisan, adds another layer of intensity to the event.
With form players and world champions sharing the same stage, the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts looks set to deliver another dramatic week of high averages, momentum swings, and world-class finishing.
