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- can you not at least attempt to proof read these recaps? the whitlock scutt one in particular is both inaccurate and mindbogglingly unreadable
- 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.

- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 ££
- Greaves could win
Fallon might win
Ashton might get a set
Van Leuven could get a set deciders
Hayter might get to a double
- Congratulations Deta, champion at last. Although I was really hoping Sophie was going to win.
Deta had a tough route to the final and a deserved Champion after soooooo many attempts.
- Congratulations Zehra, an excellent performance, 3-0 was harsh on Rebecca, she played well and actually won a decent trophy better than what Zehra won.
I think it is extremely poor and insulting that the girls prize money is half of what the boys win.
At that level it should be equal, girls wanting to take up darts will see the injustice of winnings and could think twice about taking up the sport. Ultimately, winning is the only thing that matters, but I would be vocal about prize money if the female equivalent was double the amount.
