New title sponsors Paddy Power have Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen as the joint favourites at 9/2 to win the 2024 PDC World Championship on January 3, 2024.
Luke Humphries favourite for PDC World Darts Championship glory overtaking Michael van Gerwen after Grand Slam of Darts win

Usually, Michael van Gerwen is the out-and-out favourite for the PDC World Darts Championship, but he has some competition with title sponsors, Paddy Power this year in Luke Humphries.
After winning the World Grand Prix and Grand Slam of Darts, the odds of Humphries drifted to 9/2 for him to be a joint favorite alongside the Green Machine. Many instead will find value in Gerwyn Price or Gary Anderson with some questioning the form of Michael van Gerwen who has flattered to deceive as of late as well as perhaps not fulfilling his favourite tag at Ally Pally in recent times.

That joint status was after the final, but he has since become out and out favourite at 7/2 with Gerwyn Price at 5/1, Michael Smith 8/1, Gary Anderson 11/1 and Rob Cross 14/1.
Peter Wright is 14/1, while Nathan Aspinall sits at 25/1. Perhaps the biggest surprise is Gian van Veen sitting at 40/1 ahead in the betting even of James Wade who was in supreme form in Wolverhampton and Masters champion, Chris Dobey.

- It also gives new tour card holders something to aim for early season...Thomas Moffatt29-10-2024
- Loving the concept as I was a fan of the old BDO tournament and it is great to see they are following it...Thomas Moffatt29-10-2024
- That's the thing, Richie. I used to love the Lakeside walk on; Fitton, Madness, and many others too. As I stated in a much earlier post, I used to attend Lakeside (when the cash allowed it) with my late old man - late 80s, early 90s and enjoyed it immensely. How times have changed, sadly.MrYnyslas197129-10-2024
- Yes, indeed. I have been watching darts for over 40 years and like to think I have good knowledge of the sport, but I haven't heard of most of these players. I really miss the characters like Wolfie, 2 Hotty, Fitton, O Shea, Hankey etc. All my friends ask what happened to the Lakeside darts as they were casual fans who never had SKY and only watched and attended Lakeside. I understand age is probably an issue now and form, but only Paul Lim would motivate me to attend and cheer on. Maendl-Lawrance will send the crowd to sleep. He makes Justin Pipe look like Ricky Evans. If this tournament was mixed, Beau would be the outright World Championrichieburnettrocks29-10-2024
- This tournament is now pretty pointless. Years ago,it was fantastic, Wolfie, Waites,Atkins, Robson etc. But now not many average above 80!!rick6728-10-2024
