Rob Cross is looking forward to a return to the stage, just over three weeks after becoming the world champion.
The 27-year-old Cross stunned the world by beating Phil Taylor 7-2 to win at the Ally Pally on his debut. Voltage dominated the PDC Annual Awards, taking the Players' Player of the Year, Fans' Player of the Year and Best Newcomer awards. He also took the Best Televised Performance gong, for his incredible 6-5 win over Michael van Gerwen at the World Championship.
Next up for the new world number three is a debut appearance at the Masters in Milton Keynes. His campaign begins against Ian White on Friday evening.
"It's really exciting. The past year has been full of new experiences for me and this will be another one," said Cross.
"It was a goal of mine to get into the Masters anyway because it's the top 16 in the world and it means a lot to be in that bracket, but to be here as World Champion is amazing for me."
Cross has quickly become a household name after his Ally Pally triumph. Following a wave of publicity, it is back to action for the former electrician.
"The reaction since the World Championship has been unbelievable and it's been a busy time but I've been putting in the practice still and it will be nice to get back to playing," he said.

- It's his attitude. Zero fight when it's not going his way and looks like the darts owe him a treble. He carries every poor visit into the next one. Maybe he should decide one final year, goodbye tour and f*ing enjoy itBandB18-12-2025
- Difficult one. Obviously has some struggles but you can't allow that behaviour. The damage to his hand from punching and blocking the pyrotechnics will keep him out for months anyway, but ban to the matchplay and fine whatever his prize money was for this event, with a heavy suspended ban on top.BandB17-12-2025
- 1 year ban and £15,000 fine.medinabello16-12-2025
- can you not at least attempt to proof read these recaps? the whitlock scutt one in particular is both inaccurate and mindbogglingly unreadablecolt16-12-2025
- Look, everyone knows he likes to wind up his opponents. Today,his worst,and always will be,best opponent,is himself. I don't dislike the bloke,but he can only blame himself.rick6715-12-2025

- DRA - just a warning please. Obviously not deliberate, in good spirits a s immediate apology. (P.s. Good on you Joe! Tough season, hope you keep that standard into the next round and beyond)BandB14-12-2025
- This bozo says he can't take darts any further and he's left it in a good place.....no-one cares about this nobody. The PDC was always in a good place before he came along. Does this buffon think the crowd are there for him.richieburnettrocks14-12-2025
- Yes, a warning indeed. He is coming to the buffet table, out of his way. This class A goof continues to blither about how he is playing the best darts of his life and even had the laughable audacity to say he was in the best shape of his life. He had a lucky run at Blackpool and even luckier at the World Championship and is still living off that. His form the past year especially the last 6 months completely sucks. 6 micky mouse titles mean nothing.richieburnettrocks13-12-2025
- I'm a big Huybretchs fan from when he broke through at the euros in the early days, but his action has gone. So jerky and inconsistent. Looking at where he'll be in the rankings, hopefully he can treat the new year as a new start, relax, enjoy it and push on without the pressure of defending lots of ££BandB12-12-2025
