Grand Slam of Darts winners list, Past champions by year, history since 2007.
The Grand Slam of Darts used to bring together the best players from the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and the British Darts Organisation (BDO) but since the latter's demise in 2020, it's now purely a PDC event..
Phil Taylor won the first three finals against Andy Hamilton since its inceptions in 2007, Terry Jenkins and Scott Waites - averaging over 100 in each one - but he failed at the quarter-final stages to Steve Beaton in 2010.
The 18th staging of the unique event will see a 32-player field battling it out for £650,000 in prize money across nine days of action from November 9-17.
Who won the 2024 Grand Slam of Darts, Luke Littler make history?
Teenager Luke Littler continued his sensational maiden professional year by winning the Grand Slam of Darts with a 16-3 thrashing of qualifier Martin Lukeman in Wolverhampton.
The 17-year-old trailed 2-0 after his throw was broken in the second leg but then won an incredible 15 legs on the spin to lead 15-2.
Lukeman broke the sequence and celebrated emphatically, with the crowd cheering and singing for the world number 45, who had to win four qualifying games just to reach the tournament proper.
Littler then broke Lukeman's throw in the 19th leg to win the Eric Bristow trophy and his first major ranking title.
He was serenaded in the warm-up - the crowd singing 'walking in a Littler wonderland' - and offered an apology after cheers turned to boos when spectators realised he had thrown 140 rather than 180 in one visit.
The win sees Littler move to fifth place in the PDC's Order of Merit, having been ranked 164 a year ago.
Littler takes home £150,000 for winning the title, plus £3,500 for winning this group, taking his prize money to £558,500 for the Order of Merit, which is calculated over a two-year period.
He has picked up £355,000 for winning the Premier League of Darts and World Series finals but, as those are invitational events, they do not count towards the rankings.
