The case for Gerwyn Price
The first Welsh world champion and the most physically imposing presence the sport has known. A former professional rugby union and rugby league hooker who played for Cross Keys and Glasgow Warriors, Price took up darts full time in his late twenties and won the 2021 World Championship by beating Gary Anderson 7-3, becoming world number one in the process — the first Welshman to hold the ranking. He won three consecutive Grand Slam of Darts titles in 2018, 2019 and 2020, the 2020 World Grand Prix and the 2020 World Cup of Darts alongside Jonny Clayton, part of more than eight televised majors. His aggression and roaring celebrations made him the pantomime villain of the Alexandra Palace crowd, and he embraced it, at one point wearing ear defenders on stage. Beneath the theatre is a genuinely elite scorer whose transition from a contact-sport career remains unmatched in darts.
The case for Luke Littler
The youngest world champion in the sport's history and the biggest audience driver it has ever had. Littler reached the 2024 World Championship final at 16, losing 7-4 to Luke Humphries after arriving as a qualifier ranked outside the top 150, and won the title a year later on 3 January 2025, beating Michael van Gerwen 7-3 at 17 years and 347 days old. In between he won the 2024 Premier League at his first attempt, beating Humphries in the final, and the 2024 Grand Slam of Darts, among a major haul already larger than most professionals manage in a career. He throws quickly, appears immune to the occasion, and has averaged above 100 in televised finals since he was a schoolboy. His 2024 run drew the largest television audiences in the sport's history and a surge in board sales and junior participation across Britain, the Netherlands and Germany.
