The latest DPA events took place this past weekend with Haupai Puha and Robbie King in particular starring.

There were six events in all and they both picked up doubles with Koha Kokiri and James Bailey also claiming wins.
It started off with Bailey who alongside Damon Heta has been a shining light of the DPA ProTour this year.
He saw off Mick Lacey, the aforementioned Robbie King and Ryan Lynch to add another title to his haul.
King claimed the next event seeing off Ben Robb, a former World Series participant in the final.
Puha was next to claim an event win with ‘Hopes’ also seeing off Ben Robb in his final. The Kiwi ace will be part of New Zealand’s World Cup side in June with Cody Harris in a strong line up.
King returned to the winners circle in the next event seeing off Steve Fitzpatrick who himself denied Damon Heta in the semis.
Fitzpatrick reached back to back Finals with him also being edged out by the experienced Koha Kokiri in the penultimate event.
Kokiri reached back to back Finals but he was denied by Haupai Puha who picked up his double to end an exciting weekend on the DPA Pro Tour.

    I agree that this season the format was a bit stale, it would be better to have some new faces rotated in through the season. I also think they should vary the format a bit as it doesn't count for rankings, they could have different varieties of 501 (e.g. double start) or just different challenges.
  • mikedarts03-07-2026
    I don't really understand why its an issue that Littler doesn't play in the events, they are barely televised so there is no draw for marketing and it gives the other players a better chance to define their narratives. The events are more of a throw back to old events. I agree that the format should be looked at, I don't know why they don't do a more interesting format or vary it through the season to improve interest
  • BandB03-07-2026
    This shows they have the prize money structure wrong then (and OoM as a result). Put more £ into the floor, less on the TV and you'll attract more players to attend more often.
  • rick6702-07-2026
    He's admitted his mistakes. He won't be the first or last player to get sent down,or take drugs. I honestly didn't like the lad,but at least he's owning up to his issues. So,good luck. In whatever he decides to do
  • StraightArrowNoBull01-07-2026
    Not everyone wants to watch pub players throwing 70 averages for about £500. Premier League is indeed a cash cow, but it does its job of promoting the game. This new suggestion for changes is one of the better ones. Even better if everyone knew what they had to do to qualify and it isn't just a walk-on popularity contest.
  • rick6730-06-2026
    I have a suggestion,scrap the whole thing. It's a pointless cash cow for anyone in the top 10.
  • rick6728-06-2026
    Well nobody made him bet!! It's his own fault,if wants to lose money,then he shouldn't call Gerwyn out! He averaged 103,I would think the losing betting idiot could average 40! If you don't want to risk losing,keep your money in your pocket!
  • richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
    A great female line up this year, it would be nice to see Gemma win, but Beau is too good. Although the most important lady is missing....Lorraine Winstanley! You can't have a major tournament with out Lorraine Winstanley!! My dream is to see Lorraine hit a nine darter, run off the stage and out of the building with Dean.
  • richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
    Laura looking fantastic and obviously has a hidden talent as a dart player. It was so nice to see her shock and joy of hitting that triple 20 I miss Laura, she was excellent and very knowledgeable regarding darts. Can you imagine that dozy wooden air head Emma Paton from SKY being able to do that, she'd hold the dart the wrong way round.
