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.

loadingLatest comments- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts.
It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set.
Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.
- I'll play,I can average about 40!
- I'll play,I can average about 40!
- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face.
What a talentless waste of space
What a travesty when you compare what ITV had.
He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself.
I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof.
Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley.
It really is paving over paradise.
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.
- Absolutely disgraceful, really
I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that.
Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable.
Emma from SKY is more
interested in what to wear than learning about darts.
Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator
on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant.
It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent.
Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year.
The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much.
John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY.
I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall.
Poor Gemma has a toughie
Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa.
Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.
- I thought itv coverage was great,shame to see it going
- Put the balls back in and have another go!
- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring.
Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.
