Players competing in the Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters could win an astonishing $200,000 if they produce a nine-darter in this month’s World Series of Darts event.
The inaugural staging of the Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters will take place on January 19-20, as darts visits the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first time.
The two-day event will see eight PDC superstars pitted against eight Asian Tour representatives, as the sport’s biggest names go head-to-head for televised silverware in Saudi Arabia.
There will also be a bumper $100,000 prize on offer to any player who lands a nine-darter throughout the event - and this bonus could be doubled following the introduction of the Riyadh Season Bullseye.
If a nine-darter is hit during the event, 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 nine-darter in PDC history.
Reigning 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 2023/24 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 amongst the eight regional representatives in action later this month.
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.
Round one will be held on Monday January 19, before the remaining eight players go head-to-head on Tuesday January 20, featuring the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final in one blockbuster session.
