THE Australian Darts Masters is just around the corner, with Luke Littler hoping to go one better this time around.
And after his incredible comeback victory in the final of the World Matchplay, he’ll be hungry to add another accolade to his ever-expanding collection.
The 2024 Australian Masters saw Gerwyn Price take home the silverware in Wollongong after smashing Littler 8-1.
Returning to defend his crown, the Iceman will have to fend off the sport’s biggest names, hoping to knock him off the top.
World No1 Luke Humphries makes his second appearance Down Under, while Stephen Bunting and Australia’s own Damon Heta also feature in the tournament.
There will also be two players from the PDC making their debuts in Australia, with Mike De Decker and Josh Rock taking to the oche.
SunSport has all the details on what will be a thrilling two-day tournament.
