As well as the accolade that the
World Cup of Darts brings, it also gleams a spot in the Grand Slam of Darts whether players win the final or not and that is the case for
Josh Rock,
Daryl Gurney and
Gerwyn Price.
Rock and Gurney led Northern Ireland to an incredible final win at the
World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt overcoming the incredible partnership of
Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton in an emotional win.
As a result, Rock and Gurney both head back to Wolverhampton this autumn to play in the tournament between November 8-16. Rock has his card marked when it comes to the Grand Slam of Darts playing in the past four.
While Gurney will return after six years away. He reached the Quarter-Finals on his debut back in 2017. Price will also return having won the Eric Bristow Trophy three times. He won in 2018, 2019 and 2021 all in Aldersley.
But Jonny Clayton hasn't sealed his spot (through this route at any route). He reached the final of the Winmau World Masters in February so is already there by virtue of that route.
11 players are already confirmed those being Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries as well as Martin Lukeman, 2024 finalist as well as James Wade, Jonny Clayton as TV runners-up and Gian van Veen as World Youth Champion. Jurjen van der Velde also has his spot.
They will be joined by winners of the Women's World Matchplay, North American Championship, PDC Asian Championship and the 2025 Challenge Tour, Development Tour and Women’s Series Order of Merit champions. It is also the last year before it is expanded to 48 next year with more scope likely for the top names to be involved next time around with more prize money on offer.

Latest comments- I actually watched it,with the sound down,and playing music instead!! No Mardle for me thanks. I shouldn't have to,but I can't stand the up his own backside bloke
- This dozy wooden air head doesn't have a clue about darts and is more concerned about what to wear.
Ultimately, SKY continually make it the Lego head show.
- More Challenge Tour guys have made the final round than top 16 seeds - Tweddell, Waites and Hall Vs Ratajski and Nijman. Further evidence that we need to stop protecting the guys coasting in the 20s and 30s in the rankings. PS Respect to Beau on her first day, some great wins and averages and the hardest £1k she'll ever earn as a pro!
- Mesmerising words from the greatest darts player and World Champion and Masters Champion.
Richie is such an interesting character and so charismatic.
Such a shame Richie can't remember every moment as it would be absolutely fascinating to hear these stories and share those memories.
The complete opposite of today's charisma vacuums
Richie Burnett absolutely rocks!!!
- At last, someone honest saying how it happened.! Well done. But sadly,what could have been. World masters and world champion. Not many can say that! Good lad
- I'm not interested in a single word Mardle has to say unless it's goodbye
- Exactly why he's no longer elite. Doesn't have the mindset anymore.
- Vdv telling mvg what he's being doing wrong? Vdv,get your darts back out, you're getting as bad as Mardle now. I noticed both of you both won multiple majors? No! I need say no more
- Maybe he should write a book about it called murder on the dart board, and can branch out to a podcast. He can call that the wrong bed.
- fact is, the majority of people don't agree with you (read i.e. any reddit post on the subject, where the consensus is the likes of mardle and dawson are the best out there). personally i'll miss oatley but i consider most of the others to be dinosaurs with the combined personality of a cardboard box. warriner-little's "THE BULL" gimmick is affected and cringeworthy and he's never had the charisma for a commentary job.
