Stephen Bunting started its new season extremely successfully last weekend, taking the overall victory in the 2025 championship Bahrain Dart Masters. For “The Bullet,” it was his second PDC television title.
After victories over Nitin Kumar, Chris Dobey and Luke Humphries, Bunting was too strong for Gerwyn Price in the final. His Gulf State title also earned him status as the number one darts player with St. Helens Dutch darts champions in Den Bosch this weekend.
The leader of the seeded list, in the first round he was paired with youth world champion Gian van Veen. Bunting is looking forward to the tournament in the Netherlands. “Winning in Bahrain last week; The confidence I’ve gained from this is huge.” – he said in an interview with PDC.
“Wherever we play – whether it’s Bahrain, Germany, the Netherlands or the UK, the fan base I’m currently building is crazy. I’m playing the best I’ve ever played. I’m more consistent than ever before and I now believe I can win titles,” said the current world number five.
The match between Bunting and Van Veen will be the third match of Friday’s session. The winner of this match will face Chris Dobey or Raymond van Barneveld in the quarterfinals.
