The 2025 PDC World Masters (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2025 Winmau World Masters) was a professional darts tournament that took place at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England, from 30 January to 2 February 2025. It was the 13th Masters to be organised by the Professional Darts Corporation and the first under the World Masters rebrand. It was the first time the tournament was ranked and was using set play.

Stephen Bunting was the defending champion after beating Michael van Gerwen 11–7 in the 2024 final. However, he lost 4–3 to Danny Noppert in the quarter-finals.

Luke Humphries won the tournament, defeating Jonny Clayton 6–5 in the final. ^{[1] [2]}

Dimitri Van den Bergh hit a nine-dart finish during his second round victory over Michael van Gerwen. ^[3]

Overview

Background

The preliminary rounds and main tournament were held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England.

The inaugural edition of The Masters, the 2013 Masters, was held by the Professional Darts Corporation from 1–3 November 2013 at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland and broadcast live on ITV4. ^[4] Phil Taylor won the first final, defeating Adrian Lewis 10–1. ^[5] Since 2015, the tournament has been held in Milton Keynes. ^[6] The tournament initially featured the top 16 players in the world before increasing to the top 24 in 2021. ^[7]

In August 2024, it was announced that for the 2025 event, the field would expand to 32 players and it would be the first edition where the tournament was ranked. ^[8] However, this preceded a bigger announcement that was made on 28 October. The PDC announced a complete revamp of the competition, rebranding it from The Masters to the World Masters (sponsored by Winmau), emulating the World Masters which was first held in 1975 and organised by the British Darts Organisation and later the World Darts Federation. ^{[9] [10]} The revamp saw a change in format from leg play to classic World Masters set play (best of 3 legs in a set), and saw preliminary rounds introduced for players outside of the top 24 and players from the PDC's affiliated tours to determine who would join the top 24 in the main competition.

The 2025 event was held from 30 January to 2 February at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England. ^[11] The defending champion was Stephen Bunting, who won his first PDC televised title by defeating Michael van Gerwen 11–7 in the 2024 final, ^{[12] [13]} but he was eliminated by Danny Noppert 4–3 in the quarter-finals. ^[14]

Format

All matches were played as straight in (player begins scoring with their first throw no matter what section is hit), double out (a segment on the outer ring or the bullseye), requiring the players to score 501 points to win a leg, finishing on a double. The matches were played in set format, with a minimum of two sets required to win a match. All sets were played to the best of three legs. ^{[15] [12]}
