VIDEO: Stephen Bunting throws nine-dart finish during practice ahead of sensational Premier League triumph
PDC
Stephen Bunting experienced his finest moment so far in the Premier League Darts 2025 on Thursday night. At the Uber Arena in Berlin, he crowned himself the winner of the ninth night of play, but that was not the only highlight of the evening. Even before his first dart on the big stage, "The Bullet" showed his form.
In the practice room behind the scenes, where players quietly prepare for their matches, Bunting threw a brilliant nine-dart finish under the watchful eye of the Sky Sports cameras. Through two 180 scores and a 141 finish, he needed only nine darts to go from 501 to 0.
As if it were an omen, Bunting then took that top form effortlessly onto the stage. He defeated Nathan Aspinall convincingly in the quarterfinals, then surprised world number one Luke Humphries in the semifinals to defeat Gerwyn Price 6-5 in the final match in a thrilling match. In doing so, he took his first ever weekly Premier League title.

- I agree,but there still isn't a good enough German player to be considered. I've said before,scrap the whole thing,its a payday for the top players and gives nothing to anyone elserick6707-04-2025
- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025
- Aspinall really struggles against Littler. Head to head is currently 9 - 1 in Littlers favour.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025

- May only have won two PDC Majors but thats two more than most players will ever win. He wasn’t lucky either to beat Taylor and MVG, he outplayed them.Mysstree29-03-2025

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
