“I believe there is plenty more to come from me" - Peter Wright looking to continue resurgence at 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters
PDC
Thanks to Michael van Gerwen's pre-planned family holiday, Peter Wright has been drafted in to complete the lineup of eight PDC stars at the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters. Ahead of the event getting underway this afternoon, Wright has expressed his desire to impress at the World Series of Darts 2025 opener.
Wright heads to Bahrain with momentum started to pick back up too. After a dreadful 2024 by his own high standards, the Scot showed signs of life at the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship, ending the reign of Luke Humphries en route to the quarter-finals, before losing in the last eight 5-2 to Stephen Bunting, who also makes the trip to Bahrain for the start of the 2025 World Series of Darts.
“It was nice to show the world I could still play darts,” reflects Wright in quotes to the PDC ahead of the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters. “I believe there is plenty more to come from me this year, and I’ll have time to rest and be fresher for the floor tournaments and the European Tour away from the Premier League."
In fact, Wright sees the perfect example for him to follow in the form of former world champion Rob Cross, who himself dropped out of Premier League Darts selection before building himself back up and regaining his spot amongst the darts elite for the last two years. “I will take a leaf out of the Rob Cross' book. He wasn’t in the Premier League and for two years he worked hard and all the results came," Wright explains. "That’s why he’s now fourth in the world!”
In the opening round of the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters this Thursday afternoon, Wright faces off against the potentially tricky PDC Asian Tour Order of Merit winner Alexis Toylo in the penultimate match of the session.

- It has been fantastic watching Richie Burnett this week in the Modus Super Series and a fabulous interview with Paul Nicholson on YouTube. 30 years since his World Championship and a repeat of the 96 final with Steve Beaton. Magic boom boom boom boom boom boomrichieburnettrocks16-01-2025

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025
- Now this is a heart-warming story. A top-32 pro-player giving up his time to help out in a humble role at Q school. Well done Ricardo.UndartedWaters12-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
