Luke Littler will begin his defence of the Bahrain Darts Masters against PDC Asian Champion Lourence Ilagan, as he prepares to make his first outing as World Champion on Thursday evening.
The 2025 World Series of Darts begins with the third edition of the Bahrain Darts Masters on January 16-17, as a star-studded line-up compete in The Dome at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Thursday’s opening round will see the eight PDC superstars – headlined by newly-crowned World Champion Littler – take on the eight Asian representatives for a place in Friday’s Finals Day.
Littler marked his arrival on the global stage with a nine-darter on his way to victory in Bahrain last year, defeating Michael van Gerwen in the final to triumph on his World Series debut.
