2025 Dutch Darts Masters; Thrills and Upsets in Den Bosch
The 2025 Dutch Darts Masters kicked off in Den Bosch on January 24, with top players including Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen, and Luke Humphries in action. The tournament, part of the World Series of Darts, saw intense matches and notable upsets on the opening day.
World champion Luke Littler faced a tough challenge against Belgium’s Dimitri Van den Bergh but emerged victorious with a 6-4 win. Littler, who recently turned 18, showcased his composure under pressure, sealing the match with his favourite double 10. Meanwhile, defending champion Michael van Gerwen cruised past fellow Dutchman Dirk van Duijvenbode with a dominant 6-1 victory, averaging 101.8 and hitting a 124 checkout.
In a surprising turn of events, world number one Luke Humphries was knocked out in the first round by Jermaine Wattimena. Despite taking an early 2-0 lead, Humphries struggled to maintain momentum, and Wattimena capitalised, winning six of the next seven legs to secure a 6-3 victory. Gerwyn Price continued his strong form, defeating Danny Noppert 6-2 with a 101.8 average, while Stephen Bunting edged out rising Dutch star Gian van Veen in a thrilling match.
The tournament also saw veteran Raymond van Barneveld delight the home crowd with a dramatic 6-5 win over Chris Dobey. The Dutch legend, who has been battling to maintain his form, delivered a performance reminiscent of his peak years.
The action continues on January 25 with the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final, all set to take place at De Maaspoort. Fans can expect more high-stakes drama as the remaining players vie for the title and a share of the £60,000 prize fund.
