The Underdogs Rise
Every dart tournament has its favorites, the seasoned pros we’ve come to know and love. But this year, the underdogs have taken center stage. A handful of relatively unknown players have qualified, leaving the darting community in a state of pleasant shock. Among them is 18-year-old prodigy, Jack “Bullseye” Baxter, who has been playing darts for a mere two years. Baxter’s meteoric rise is a testament to the unpredictability and excitement that darts brings to the sports world.
Historic Entries

Leading the pack is the formidable Sarah “Sharp Shooter” Stevens, who has smashed records and stereotypes in equal measure. Stevens’ entry marks a significant milestone in the sport, proving that darts is a game for everyone.
The Return of Legends
Just when we thought we’d seen it all, the 2024 qualifiers brought back some familiar faces. Legendary players who had retired from the professional scene have returned, much to the delight of fans worldwide. Among them is the iconic “Darting Dragon” Danny Davis, who, at 60, is proving that age is just a number when it comes to hitting the bullseye.
