World Masters rebrand

Main article: 2025 PDC World Masters

The 2025 PDC World Masters was the first edition of the tournament, previously known as simply the Masters, under its new rebrand. The rebrand saw the event name changed to mirror the World Masters organised by the British Darts Organisation and later the World Darts Federation, adopting the tournament's format of set play over the best of three legs per set. It also became a ranked premier event for the first time, and preliminary rounds were introduced to determine eight qualifiers for the tournament, who joined the top 24 in the PDC Order of Merit.^[2] The tournament was won by Luke Humphries.^[3]

Broadcasting deals

The PDC and Sky Sports extended their partnership to broadcast darts in the United Kingdom and Ireland until 2030.^[4] The organisation also agreed to a broadcasting deal with NBC Sports and its streaming service Peacock, starting from the 2025 Premier League Darts final.^[5]
