Darts is set to break new ground as the sport prepares for its first-ever visit to Saudi Arabia, with the launch of the Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters on January 19–20. Beyond the prestige of a new World Series stop, the event raises the stakes dramatically with the introduction of the Riyadh Season Bullseye—an innovation that could redefine perfection on the oche.

At the heart of the excitement is a jaw-dropping incentive: any player who hits a nine-darter during the tournament will earn $100,000, with the chance to double that reward. After completing perfection, the player will be handed one dart at the bullseye to turn the prize into $200,000, the largest nine-darter payout in PDC history. One throw, one target, and potentially a life-changing moment.

The two-day tournament at the Global Theater will feature a compelling clash of worlds, as eight PDC superstars face eight Asian Tour representatives. Reigning World Champion Luke Littler headlines the field, returning to the World Series stage where he previously achieved perfection in Bahrain in 2024. He is joined by an elite cast including Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Stephen Bunting, Danny Noppert, and Nathan Aspinall.

Adding depth and heritage to the event is Singapore legend Paul Lim, whose iconic nine-darter in 1990 remains etched in darts history. Asia will also be strongly represented by Filipino aces Alexis Toylo, Lourence Ilagan, and Paolo Nebrida, alongside Japanese standouts Motomu Sakai, Ryusei Azemoto, Tomoya Goto, and Hong Kong’s Man Lok Leung.

With history, prestige, and an unprecedented prize on the line, Riyadh is primed to become the stage where darts dares players to be perfect.
