From Wednesday, October 29 to Saturday, November 1, the WDF World Masters 2025 is on the program. This WDF major is part of the World Darts Festival and will be played in the Hungarian capital Budapest, just like last year. Nice cash prizes are waiting for the winners.
The WDF World Masters 2025 kicks off on Wednesday, Oct. 29, with the group stage of both the Open and women's tournament. A day later, on Thursday, Oct. 30, the knockout matches up to the semifinals will follow.
The youth tournaments also begin on Thursday, with first the group stage and then the knockouts. The finals of all four categories - open, ladies, boys and girls - will be played on Saturday, Nov. 1.
The event is an invitational tournament, open only to selected and invited players. Participants in the open category include Rowby-John Rodriguez, Brian Raman, Francois Schweyen, David Pallett, Scott Mitchell, Paul Hogan, Arjan Konterman, Bradly Roes, Corne Groeneveld, Jimmy van Schie, Ron Meulenkamp, Ryan de Vreede and former WDF world champion Neil Duff.
The open category has the most prize money to be earned. Upon reaching the last 64, players will receive a minimum of 125 euros in prize money. This eventually rises to the top prize of 10,000 euros.
For the ladies, two-time winner Beau Greaves is the big absentee. Deta Hedman does participate, as do Dutch players Anca Zijlstra, Kim Palstra, Laura van den Berg, Layla Brussel, Lerena Rietbergen, Megan Lucas and Priscilla Steenbergen. Mikuru Suzuki, Karolina Ratajska and Rhian O'Sullivan are other well-known ladies competing.
The women have to make do with slightly less prize money. In the women's tournament, a place in the last 32 is needed to earn 125 euros. The winner receives 5,000 euros in prize money.
There are also two more components for youth. The winner of the open youth tournament will receive 800 euros in prize money. In the girls' tournament, the winner gets 400 euros to take home.

- At what point does this dozy, dull as dishwater nobody belong in the almighty premier league. He has the whipping boy this year , barely progressed in any of the majors and lucked his way to the World semi. A nothing player.richieburnettrocks12-11-2025
- The Germans and the Dutch are far worse when they play each other. What is your opinion about that? The big money is in England and that is where most of the events will stay. Not forgetting, MVG is quite repugnant - at times. There is huge bias for English players - due to the fact that this event is being played in England. Other countries do the same thing... and rightly so. My advice is... stop being so anti-English and wind your neck in a little. Thank you.MrYnyslas197111-11-2025
- Obviously they meant Luke Woodhouse not lego head. My wife had numerous friends around at the weekend who were disgusted with most of the players appearance...lego head, bunting etc but all of them said Luke Woodhouse was best looking and sexiest.richieburnettrocks10-11-2025
- Ridiculous booing there from the crowd during Van Gerwen's Match. It is about time they moved these tournaments away from all being in England, huge bias for the English players. Sky have done an awful job of cutting all the walk-on music off tonightListerAnderson08-11-2025

- As good as Beau is, she would have struggled against Trina in her prime. Trina would have beaten most of the men in those days. She was absolutely dominant but won such a disgracefully low amount of prize money. It is great to see her backrichieburnettrocks06-11-2025
- While i do not think dart players should be paid a wage or even expenses it is ludicrous that you get nothing for turning up on the Pro Tour and losing in the first round whereas the officials are being paid a wage. Should have left the World Champion prize money at £500k and split the other £500k down the ranks. A side note to this. Would not surprise me the reason that Warriner Little and Chris Mason are not being retained for TV coverage is because of their support and backing to the players.Mysstree05-11-2025
- Probably go 1. Wright, 2. Anderson, 3. Wilson, 4. Thornton. Hard to compare Wilson to the other three as his career was over early PDC (WDC). Thornton has two PDC majors, outplayed Taylor to win the UK Open and outplayed MvG to win the Grand Prix and both were in their prime. Wright does have 7 PDC Majors whereas Anderson has 5.Mysstree05-11-2025

- Remember watching this and it’s not quite how it unfolded. Waites did play well however when they went off for a break with Wade well in the lead it was almost as if a different Wade came back. Probably one of his bi-polar episodes which was not so widely known then. I still include the GSOD as being a Major even when it was not officially classed as such so in my eyes Scott Waites is the only non PDC player to have won a PDC Major and is a far bigger win in terms of prestige than either of his BDO World titles.Mysstree04-11-2025
