Two representatives of the host nation for Bahrain Dart Masters 2025 have been confirmed. Basem Mahmood and Abdulla Saeed will return next month for the Gulf State’s World Series tournament.
A group of 16 competitors, led by current champion Luke Littler, will compete at the Bahrain International Circuit on January 16 and 17. In addition, the PDC announced that world number one Luke Humphries and former world champion Rob Cross will also be among the competitors of the eight PDC representatives in Bahrain. The remaining five PDC players will be announced later.
In the first round, they will face eight delegates from Asia, including Mahmood and Saeed, who also competed in the previous edition. The pair secured their place in the tournament by winning the Bahrain Darts Masters qualifier. They will be joined by six famous players from the PDC Asian Tour.
Last year’s tournament was won by Luke Littler. The teenage sensation, who was still 16, managed to defeat Michael van Gerwen in the final.
LUKE LITTLER IS THE DARTS CHAMPION IN BAHRAIN 2024 🏆
It’s simply breathtaking from a 16-year-old… 🙌
He hits nine darters to beat Man Lok Leung, Nathan Aspinall, Gerwyn Price and MIchael van Gerwen to win his first PDC Senior title.
