PDCSunday, 22 September 2024 at 15:32
The 16 remaining players continue to battle for the title at the 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy in Budapest on Sunday. Eight former major winners are still competing for the title at this European Tour tournament. Sunday afternoon starts a jam-packed final day with the eighth finals, before the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final take place in the evening.

We start the session with the defending champion in Budapest. Dave Chisnall took the title at last year's Hungarian Darts Trophy by beating Luke Humphries 8-7 in the final. ‘Chizzy’ qualified for the third round by beating Jonny Clayton 6-1. Chisnall will cross swords with Daryl Gurney, who won 6-5 against Florian Hempel in the second round.
In the quarter-finals, Peter Wright and Chisnall could face each other for the third European Tour tournament in a row. ‘Snakebite’ still has to beat Ryan Searle first, after the Scot treated Damon Heta to a whitewash earlier. Searle also had an easy start. He beat Alberto Bezjian 6-1.
Wessel Nijman is the first Dutchman to take the stage on Sunday afternoon. After his sensational 6-5 victory over Gerwyn Price, World Championship semi-finalist Scott Williams is now his opponent. Williams himself was responsible for the elimination of Chris Dobey (6-4).
We will see at least one Dutchman in the quarter-finals, as Danny Noppert and Gian van Veen face each other in the fourth match of the afternoon. Noppert won 6-4 against Nathan Aspinall in the second round, while Van Veen dealt with Keane Barry (6-4). Both Dutchmen have met three times already this year; Noppert won twice and once the win went to Van Veen.
Ross Smith eliminated Raymond van Barneveld on Saturday night at the Hungarian Darts Trophy. As a result he earned a meeting with Ricardo Pietreczko. The German himself won against another Dutchman. He triumphed 6-5 against Niels Zonneveld.

Stephen Bunting also continues his tournament against a German player. On Saturday afternoon, his opponent Cor Dekker hit a nine darter, but Bunting claimed a 6-2 victory. Now he meets Martin Schindler, who was too strong for Jim Williams (6-5).
Michael van Gerwen gets the chance to revenge against Gabriel Clemens on Sunday afternoon. Two weeks back, ‘Mighty Mike’ lost to the German at the Flanders Darts Trophy. Van Gerwen had a good start on Saturday at the Hungarian Darts Trophy by beating Martin Lukeman 6-2 thanks to an average of 104. The Dutchman also produced a nine-darter in his first match at this event. Clemens caused a big surprise by eliminating reigning world champion Luke Humphries 6-5.
In the final match of the afternoon, Rob Cross and Josh Rock will battle against each other for a place in the last eight. Cross celebrated a 6-1 win over Andrew Gilding in the second round, while Rock survived eight matchdarts against James Wade.

The Hungarian Darts Trophy will be broadcast on PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Hungarian Darts Trophy consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 12:00, while the evening sessions start at 18:00.
The first round will take place on Friday. The 16 Order of Merit qualifiers and the winners from the various qualifying tournaments then make their appearance. The top-16 seeded players enter the tournament on Saturday in the second round. Sunday will see the denouement of the tournament, starting with the third round in the afternoon session. Sunday evening will be followed by the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.
Distribution of prize money
At this Euro Tour tournament, a total of £175,000 in prize money will be divided among the 48 participants. They will receive at least 1250 pounds in starting money. The top-16 seeded players who enter the Hungarian Darts Trophy from the second round will receive 2,500 pounds anyway.
They do - like the 16 Order of Merit qualifiers starting in the first round - have to win their first match in order for the prize money to count toward the world rankings and the other rankings. The winner of the Hungarian Darts Trophy eventually goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.

I stumbled into the world of darts quite by accident back in 2013. For a Journalism School assignment, I had to produce a live sports report and as it happened, the European Tour event in Veldhoven was the only available option. That weekend, I caught the darts bug. The post-match interviews especially appealed to me, as darts players tend to be much more open and approachable than what you usually see with footballers on television.
After a few detours, I joined Dartsnieuws.com in 2017 as editor-in-chief. I don’t have much competitive experience myself, although I once entered a PDC Development Tour weekend just to experience what it’s like from a player’s perspective. I even managed to win a leg against a Tour Card holder and, quite by accident, earned £50 in prize money.
In 2022, I was also involved in the founding of the TOTO Dart Kings, a commercial darts team, where I worked as media manager for three years. Unfortunately, due to new legislation in the Netherlands, that project came to an end in 2025.
Through my work in darts, I’ve been fortunate to travel to some incredible events, from Premier League nights at Ahoy Rotterdam, to several World Championships, and even the US Darts Masters at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Beyond darts, I’m a passionate sports fan in general. You can always wake me up for a game of tennis or padel, and I love following football, tennis, padel, cycling, Formula 1, and ice skating.

- I loved Jan and loved his walk on music "Explode" by Jordan & Baker. I think if he stuck around the BDO he definitely would have been World Champion, should have won in 2014, he never really showed any of his talent in the PDC. I remembered he worked in a bank or in finance and maybe that was his priority, he was also a fan and interested in magic. Definitely should have achieved much more in darts than he did. Wherever you are nowadays Jan, hope all is well and I was always a fan.richieburnettrocks11-09-2026
- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026
- Need to see her take part in the womens tour. She'll break the inernet.medinabello08-09-2026
- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
