World Grand Prix (darts)

The BoyleSports World Grand Prix is a PDC darts tournament traditionally held in Dublin, Ireland every October, but has taken place in Leicester, England since 2021.

Its original venue was the Casino Rooms in Rochester, Kent in 1998 and 1999, and then for one year only in 2000 at the Crosbie Cedars Hotel in Rosslare, County Wexford.

Although he has dominated the event with eleven title wins, Phil Taylor has been knocked out of the World Grand Prix five times in the first round.

The current champion is Mike De Decker, who defeated Luke Humphries, by a margin of 6-4, in the 2024 final to win his first major and first World Grand Prix title.

The first nine-darter in Grand Prix history was eventually completed by Brendan Dolan in the 2011 semi-final against James Wade.

In 2014, James Wade and Robert Thornton both hit perfect legs in the same match, the first time this happened in any televised event.
