The dust has settled on the World Championships and we’re back in the swing of the regular darting season this week, as eight of the world’s best travel to Bahrain for the third staging of the Bahrain Darts Masters.
Luke Littler blitzed through the field to secure his first title of a ridiculous 2024 here last January, and now returning as a world champion will be eager to keep hold of the title inside the Bahrain International Circuit.
But Luke Humphries will have other ideas.
The world number one fell early at the Worlds, and will be aiming to start 2025 proving that he is still the numero uno on the oche.
Let’s take a closer look at the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters field, plus the top darts betting offers from the best betting sites.

2025 Bahrain Darts Masters – The Favourites
Luke Littler - 11/8 to win the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters
It’s not exactly surprising that Luke Littler is priced as short as 11/8 to win back-to-back Bahrain Darts Masters titles.
The reigning world champion was close to flawless inside the Ally Pally over the festive period, and with a dominant 2024 under his belt on the tour, the 17-year-old will be licking his lips at the prospect of adding to his growing trophy collection.
Littler opens up his campaign against the experienced Lourence Ilagen and is in a favourable half of the draw avoiding the in-form Stephen Bunting and world number one Luke Humphries.
Luke Humphries - 3/1 to win the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters
Humphries’ fourth-round exit at the World Championship was out of character.
The world number one reached the final in 5/8 ranking tournaments in 2024 and was heavily backed to retain his crown in north London.
“Cool Hand” on song is still pretty unplayable on the oche, and an early morale-boosting win over Bahrain qualifier Abdulla Saeed will give him good momentum into a probable clash with Nathan Aspinall.
Humphries is a serial winner on the tour and is actually a good price at 3/1 to lift the title.
Gerwyn Price - 15/2 to win the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters
Gerwyn Price showed flashes of brilliance at the World Championship, but his missed doubles came back to haunt him as he exited in the quarter-finals.
The Welshman has been out of the winners circle for a while now, not getting his hands on a major singles title since back in 2022.
Price will have to get through Luke Littler in a potential quarter-final clash if he is to make hay in Bahrain and his 15/2 price underlines how tough he is beginning to find it against the cream of the crop in the PDC.
Stephen Bunting - 10/1 to win the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters
Stephen Bunting is angling for a big 2025, so what better than to start with a bang at the Bahrain Darts Masters.
The “Bullet” won early in 2024 at the Masters, and a semi-final run at the Worlds has set him up perfectly to have a charge at major titles this season.
Nitin Kumar is up first for Bunting, fresh from a spirited 3-1 loss to Martin Lukeman at the World Championships, and his first real test will be against fellow semi-finalist from the Ally Pally in Chris Dobey.
2025 Bahrain Darts Masters Tips
Check out our top tips for the weekend action in Bahrain.
Paolo Nebrida to beat Rob Cross
In these events, it’s always worth looking out for a potential upset in one of the eight first-round matches.
They are heavily weighted in favour of the ranked PDC player, but with a short best-of-11 format in-play, there are bound to be a couple of slip-ups.
Paolo Nebrida enjoyed a spirited run to the third round of the World Championships this year and the 30-year-old Filipino will be targetting a win over Rob Cross.
Cross struggled at the end of 2024 and could be primed for the upset against Nebrida.
Luke Littler to win the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters
All the attention will be on Luke Littler this week, but that’s what the youngster is used to now.
The “Nuke” doesn’t look phased by anything on the PDC Tour and now has the advantage of playing all of these tournaments – pretty exceptionally – last season.
He is consistently averaging above 100 and if he is to repeat this in Bahrain then it’s hard to imagine many players laying a glove on the world champion.
