Life after the PDC! Steve Beaton thrives on MODUS Super Series debut to top Legend's Week table after day one
MODUSTuesday, 14 January 2025 at 13:15
At the MODUS Super Series this week, it is Legend's Week and among the stars in action is former Lakeside champion Steve Beaton. The iconic 'Bronzed Adonis' has made a strong start to life after the PDC too, topping the table after Day One.

Losing just one of his five matches on opening day, Beaton picked up eight points thanks to victories over the likes of Richie Howson, Richie Burnett, Robert Thornton and Devon Petersen. The only player to defeat Beaton in the MODUS Super Series arena on Day One, was former WDF world champion Neil Duff.
Given Duff's inconsistency elsewhere during the day though, the Northern Irishman finished Day One in 4th in Group A, with both Howson and Burnett just 2 points down on Beaton in the fight for the top and both Thornton and Petersen some what adrift at the bottom.
Over the course of today (Tuesday, January 14th), the players will do battle with each other again on Day Two. Can Beaton keep his place at the top of the group table?
Legend's Week on MODUS Super Series can be viewed live for free on the official MODUS YouTube channel, and the Pluto app across various devices.
On Saturday however, YouTube coverage will only be available to those where Pluto TV is not available on their TV sets. For fans in the UK, this means that to watch the action on Saturday, YouTube will sadly not be the destination.

- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
