In 2025, PDC's Masters event undergoes a big change and reverts back to something more like the historic
Winmau World Masters. The new, PDC Winmau
World Masters takes place between January 29th and February 2nd and the
draw has now been revealed!
When looking at any draw, attentions are naturally turned quickly to see who world number one
Luke Humphries and world champion
Luke Littler will be facing. For Humphries, the potentially tricky tie of former Premier League runner-up and Masters champion
Joe Cullen lies in wait, whilst Littler will do battle against one of the eight qualifiers in his opener, as will
Michael van Gerwen, Rob Cross,
Stephen Bunting, Dave Chisnall,
Gerwyn Price,
Peter Wright and
Josh Rock.
Elsewhere,
Gary Anderson faces reigning UK Open champion
Dimitri van den Bergh in a tasty tie, while Dutch number two
Danny Noppert plays 2023 World Champion
Michael Smith in a repeat of the 2022 UK Open final. See the full draw down below!
