Record nine-darter bonus introduced ahead of Saudi Arabia Darts Masters
A jaw-dropping $200,000 bonus will be on offer for a nine-darter at the inaugural Saudi Arabia Darts Masters.
The World Series of Darts visits the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first time next week as 16 players compete for glory in Riyadh.
There will be a lucrative $100,000 prize on offer to any player who lands a nine-darter in the event – and this bonus could be doubled following the introduction of the Riyadh Season Bullseye.
If a nine-darter is hit, the player will be given one dart at the bullseye to double their prize to $200,000, which would constitute the biggest prize pot for a perfect leg in PDC history.
Back-to-back World Champion Luke Littler achieved perfection on the World Series stage in Bahrain in 2024, and the teenage sensation will headline a star-studded line-up at the Global Theater.
Littler will be joined by 2024 World Champion Luke Humphries, World Championship runner-up Gian van Veen and three-time World Champion Michael van Gerwen.
Former World Champion Gerwyn Price also stars in Saudi Arabia, as world number seven Stephen Bunting, former UK Open champion Danny Noppert and 2023 World Matchplay winner Nathan Aspinall complete the list of PDC representatives.
Singapore’s darting icon Paul Lim famously landed a nine-darter on the Lakeside stage in 1990, and the 71-year-old will be among the eight regional representatives in action.
Filipino trio Alexis Toylo, Lourence Ilagan and Paolo Nebrida also feature, with Japanese stars Motomu Sakai, Ryusei Azemoto and Tomoya Goto set to be joined by Hong Kong’s World Cup quarter-finalist Man Lok Leung.
