# 2025 PDC World Masters

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

## Overview
### Background

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. Phil Taylor won the first final, defeating Adrian Lewis 10–1. Since 2015, the tournament has been held in Milton Keynes. The tournament initially featured the top 16 players in the world before increasing to the top 24 in 2021.
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. 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. 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. The defending champion was Stephen Bunting, who won his first PDC televised title by defeating Michael van Gerwen 11–7 in the 2024 final.

### 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.
| Round | Best of (sets) | First to (sets) |
| Preliminary | 3 | 2 |
| First | 5 | 3 |
| Second | 7 | 4 |
| Quarter-finals | 7 | 4 |
| Semi-finals | 9 | 5 |

## Qualifiers

The World Masters featured the top 24 players in the PDC Order of Merit after the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship automatically qualifying for the first round, while the 2025 Tour Card Holders ranked outside the top 24 competed in preliminary rounds held on 29 January 2025 alongside players from affiliated tours to determine the last eight players in the main field. The top sixteen players on the Order of Merit were seeded for the tournament.
The list of participants was as follows:

## Preliminary rounds

The preliminary rounds began with a group stage, with one seeded player per group (the players ranked 57–88 were seeded). The winner of each group progressed to the last 64 where they faced players ranked 25–56. The eight winners of the last 16 matches qualified for the main tournament.
Raymond van Barneveld (ranked world number thirty-four) did not enter the preliminary rounds. Dylan Slevin therefore received a bye to the last 64.
