The 2025 World Series of Darts Finals will be the 11th edition of the tournament to be staged by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) since the 2015 event.[2] The World Series of Darts was launched by the PDC in 2013 with the aim of growing the popularity of darts around the world.[3] The inaugural year of the tour consisted of two events, the Dubai Masters and the Sydney Masters, which were won by Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor respectively.[4][5] The format of World Series events pits invited PDC representatives against regional qualifiers in the opening round.[6] As the tour expanded, the World Series of Darts Finals was introduced in 2015, where the top eight players on the World Series rankings and an additional international qualifiers would compete to close out the year.[7] The first edition of the tournament was won by Michael van Gerwen.[8] In 2024, the World Series of Darts Finals expanded from 24 to 32 players.[9]
