The two host nation representatives for the Bahrain Darts Masters 2025 have been confirmed. Basem Mahmood and Abdulla Saeed will both return to the World Series tournament in the Gulf state next month.
A field of 16 players, led by reigning champion Luke Littler, will compete at the Bahrain International Circuit on Jan. 16 and 17. Furthermore, the PDC has announced that world number one Luke Humphries and former world champion Rob Cross will also be among the eight PDC representatives in Bahrain. The other five PDC players will be announced later.
They will take on eight Asian delegates in the first round, including Mahmood and Saeed, who also competed at the previous edition. The pair secured a spot in the event by winning the Bahrain Darts Masters Qualifiers. They will be joined by six well-known players from the PDC Asian Tour.
The tournament was won last year by Luke Littler. The teenage sensation then still at the age of 16 managed to win over Michael van Gerwen in the final.

Simply breathtaking from the 16-year-old... 🙌
He hits a nine-darter, and beats Man Lok Leung, Nathan Aspinall, Gerwyn Price and MIchael van Gerwen to win his first PDC Senior title.
The first of how many...? pic.twitter.com/aCSSJ6sTnD
