The 2025 May Darts Invitational was a professional darts tournament that took place from 23 to 25 May 2025 at the Silverpoint Darts Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was the third event on the 2025 IDF Monthly Invitational Tour calendar, organized by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and featuring a field of sixteen invited players from across Europe and Oceania. The event had a total prize fund of $120,000, with $30,000 awarded to the winner.

Logan White captured his second consecutive Invitational title after defeating Emil Sørensen 10–7 in the final. The victory reinforced White’s dominance on the 2025 circuit, following his success at the April event, while Sørensen’s spirited run to the final marked his best performance to date in an IDF-sanctioned event. The tournament was notable for consistent averages across the field, competitive matches throughout the early rounds, and a strong local crowd presence in Amsterdam.

Summary

Early rounds

The opening day saw several compelling matchups, with defending champion Logan White starting confidently by overcoming Henri Delacroix 5–3, averaging just over 70 in a steady opener. Patrick Lemoine also progressed after a tight contest against Zane Bishop, edging him 5–4. Local favorite Viktor Mladenov produced one of the standout performances of the round, defeating Ruben Van Aert 5–3 with a composed display of finishing under pressure. Meanwhile, Alex Brow, who had been in improved form following a quarterfinal appearance in April, cruised past Niko Jovanovic with a clean 5–0 whitewash — one of only two sweeps of the round.

Elsewhere, Emil Sørensen dispatched Matteo Russo 5–3 with a strong mid-60s average, while Aiden Leith proved too clinical for Kai Doornink in a 5–2 result. Callum Yorke rounded off the session with a 5–4 thriller over Lukas Engelhardt, completing an opening round filled with close margins and modest yet consistent averages in the 60s range. The general tone of the first day was one of balance — no match felt lopsided, and several underdogs made their presence known.

Quarterfinals

The quarterfinal stage brought renewed intensity. Logan White maintained his rhythm with a 6–4 win over Patrick Lemoine, showing flashes of his trademark scoring power but still leaving room for improvement on doubles. Alex Brow continued his strong run, dismantling Elias Fordham 6–1 with a gritty yet composed 56.20 average, showing efficiency more than brilliance. Viktor Mladenov survived a late rally from Aiden Leith in a tense 6–5 battle, while Emil Sørensen booked his semifinal spot with a commanding 6–3 victory over Callum Yorke.

At this stage, the tournament was wide open. White looked reliable, but Sørensen’s finishing precision stood out — especially his 128 checkout to seal his quarterfinal. Brow’s resurgence and Mladenov’s mental resilience gave the event a rare unpredictability heading into finals day, something that had been lacking in earlier tour events.

Semifinals

Finals day began with Logan White meeting Alex Brow in a semifinal many considered a rematch-in-spirit of their April clash. White produced one of his most clinical displays of the year, thrashing Brow 7–0 with a 73.32 average. Despite defeat, Brow’s semifinal finish marked his best result of the season and solidified his rise within the IDF standings.

The second semifinal was a battle of rhythm and tempo. Viktor Mladenov started well but couldn’t keep pace with Emil Sørensen’s consistent ton-plus scoring. Sørensen’s 67.08 average belied the quality of his finishing, as he closed out a tight 7–4 victory to advance to his first Invitational final. The Danish player’s composure under pressure, especially on the outer ring, earned strong applause from the crowd.

Final

The final between Logan White and Emil Sørensen provided a fitting conclusion to the event. White, bidding for back-to-back titles, raced into a 4–1 lead before Sørensen clawed back to within one leg at 6–5, displaying flashes of brilliance with a 158 checkout — the tournament’s highest finish. However, White’s composure and superior scoring power ultimately proved decisive. A three-leg surge saw him move clear, and he sealed the match 10–7 with a double 10 finish.

White’s average of 75.11 in the final was among the best of the tournament, capping off a weekend of measured, methodical dominance. Sørensen’s performance, though falling short, established him as a genuine contender heading into the summer stretch of the 2025 IDF Monthly Invitational Tour. The final drew acclaim for its competitive energy and sportsmanship, rounding out a strong showing for the Amsterdam leg of the tour.
