Newly-crowned world champion Luke Littler and world No 1 Luke Humphries will headline the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters next week with the 16-player field now finalised.

Littler hit a nine-darter on his way to victory last year and will be defending his title at the first World Series of Darts event of the year.

World Championship semi-finalists Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey will feature in the event for the first time, following their inclusion in the 2025 Premier League.

Former world champions Rob Cross and Gerwyn Price also return, alongside 2023 World Matchplay winner Nathan Aspinall.

Two-time world champion Peter Wright completes the eight-player PDC line-up, with Dutch superstar Michael van Gerwen missing out due to family commitments.
