The finale of the 2025 World Seniors Darts Championship has arrived. This Saturday evening at the iconic Circus Tavern in Purfleet the newest champion of the world in the sport of darts will be crowned.
Thanks to the exits of former world seniors champions John Henderson and Robert Thornton in the quarter-finals, we are now also guaranteed a new name on the World Seniors Darts Championship trophy.
In all honesty, few would probably have expected this to be one of the semi-finals at the start of the week. Coulson though has emerged as the surprise package of the whole tournament. After a very high quality win over Mervyn King in the opening round, the Welshman moved past the much-loved Tony O'Shea in the second round. Then, this afternoon Coulson took his biggest win yet to dump out the reigning World Seniors Champion John Henderson in the quarter-finals.
Usher meanwhile, entered this tournament fresh off the PDC Pro Tour and that recent experience of matches against the very best is seemingly proving key. Especially in the quarter-finals earlier this afternoon, Usher was absolutely brilliant at times, dispatching three-time Seniors major winner Leonard Gates in a heated last eight tie.
The legendary Steve Beaton's hopes of lifting the World Seniors Darts Championship title on debut are still alive. After surviving a real scare in the opening round, the 'Bronzed Adonis' seems to be coming into real good form at the moment, winning 3-0 in the last 16 before a similarly convincing straight sets win over Richie Burnett in the quarter-finals earlier this afternoon.
In Ross Montgomery though, Beaton faces arguably the standout performer of the tournament so far average wise. The Scot dumped out compatriot Robert Thornton 3-1 in the quarter-finals earlier this afternoon.
The 2025 World Seniors Darts Championship will be available to view on a number of different services. Every dart thrown will be available via subscription service Discovery+, whilst TNT Sports offers coverage of the tournament across it's various channels.
The BBC are also covering the tournament, although their free-to-air coverage is consigned to either the BBC IPlayer and BBC Sport apps, or the Red Button channels.
With a total prize pot of £73,000, the tournament will be played not only for the prestige of the trophy, but also for a very nice cash prize. Players in the first round are guaranteed of earning £750. This eventually rises to the top prize of £30,000.
