Nine perfect darts – the sport’s holy grail and a rare feat, or so its sponsors thought.
For the 2025 Premier League campaign, its sponsors BetMGM anticipated “two, possibly three nine-darters”, with players who achieved one receiving a set of golden darts, costing £30,000.
The special darts are made in Brighton, East Sussex – a fitting location as the city that saw the first two perfect legs of the season in the same night, courtesy of Luke Humphries and Rob Cross at the Brighton Centre in March 2025.
Dan Towse, BetMGM’s Brand Director, was at the venue that night, admitting “there was a bit of panic” about how many nine-darters could be hit.
