The PDC first hosted a
World Series tournament in Australia in 2013. Over the years, tournaments have been played in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane. Since 2022, it has been played in Wollongong, where the Australian Darts Masters now also takes place. In 2022 the title in Wollongong went to Jonny Clayton and in 2023 Rob Cross ran away with the title.
Who are the participants?
World champion Luke Humphries heads the 16-player field of competitors in Wollongong. Humphries is one of two PDC representatives making their debut on Australian soil, with teen sensation Littler also breaking new ground after taking the darts world by storm over the past nine months including winning the Premier League Darts at the age of 17.
Rob Cross - the winner in Wollongong in 2023 - is hoping to follow up his strong results at the World Series. Australian number one Damon Heta will try to shine on home soil, while former world champions Michael Smith, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright will also make their appearances.
Dimitri Van den Bergh completes the list of PDC representatives. The UK Open champion gets to compete in a Wrold Series tournament in Australia for the third time in his career. Australian darts legend Simon Whitlock, who along with Heta won the 2022 World Cup of Darts, tops the list of Oceanic representatives. Haupai Puha, New Zealand's best dart player has also received an invitation. The field of participants is further completed by Brenton Lloyd, Rob Modra, Stuart Coburn, Joe Comito, John Hurring and Jeremy Fagg.
Where can I watch the Australian Darts Masters live?
The World Series tournament will be broadcast live by PDC.tv, with ITV4 showing delayed coverage of the action later in the day.
The Australian Darts Masters consists of two sessions. On Friday, the first round will be played from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. UK time. Here the eight PDC top players will take on the eight local players from Australia and New Zealand. This can be viewed live on PDC.tv, but for ITV4 coverage, you will have to wait until 19:00. The quarter-finals will take place on Saturday morning starting at 10:00 am. Following that, the semifinals and finals will be completed. Around 2:30 p.m. we will then know who is the winner of the Australian Darts Masters. Again this can be viewed live on PDC.tv but for ITV4 it will be a 17:00 start for delayed coverage.
How much prize money is to be won?
The prize pool for this event contains a total of £60,000. However, the prize money won prize money does not count toward the PDC Order of Merit or other money rankings.
All participants are guaranteed £1,250 in prize money. This amount could eventually rise to a sum of £20,000 in prize money for the winner.
