	The final, a best-of-13-sets match between Alex Brow and Logan White, was ~~held~~ on 3 January and ~~was~~ refereed by Russ Bray~~. In~~ early 2025~~, Bray~~ announced that he would officiate only the final of future International Darts Federation (IDF) World Championships. ~~The match was~~ the first IDF World Championship final for both players and the first in the event’s history to feature two finalists ~~who had not previously reached the final~~. Brow reached the final after defeating Chase Foster, Lukas Parker, Zion Carter, Max Mad, and Gage Kelly, while White defeated Liam Nelson, Ethan Steel (12), Luke Littler (13), Parker Reeves, Wyatt Walker (16), and Alfie Hamilton.		The final, a best-of-13-sets match between Alex Brow and Logan White, was played on 3 January and refereed by Russ Bray, who in early 2025 had announced that he would officiate only the final of future International Darts Federation (IDF) World Championships. It marked the first IDF World Championship final appearance for both players and was the first final in the event’s history to feature two debut finalists. Brow reached the final after defeating Chase Foster, Lukas Parker, Zion Carter, Max Mad, and Gage Kelly, while White defeated Liam Nelson, Ethan Steel (12), Luke Littler (13), Parker Reeves, Wyatt Walker (16), and Alfie Hamilton. Brow opened the match with a 10-dart leg but failed in a nine-dart finish attempt in the following leg, which White won. White then won the next two legs to take the opening set 3–1 and extended his advantage by winning the next three sets to establish a 4–0 lead, maintaining the stronger scoring during the early stages of the match.

	~~Brow won~~ the ~~opening leg with a 10~~-dart finish and later missed a nine-dart finish in the following leg, which White won. White subsequently won the next two legs to take the first set 3–1 and extended his lead by winning the next three sets to move ahead 4–0. After the interval, Brow ~~improved~~ his scoring and won the next two sets 3–0~~. He then won~~ the following set to reduce the deficit to 4–3 ~~and took~~ the next two sets to ~~lead~~ 5–4~~, before winning~~ two further sets without reply to ~~secure~~ a 7–4 victory.		Following the mid-match interval, Brow increased his scoring output and won the next two sets 3–0 before taking the following set to reduce the deficit to 4–3. He then won the next two sets to move ahead 5–4 and secured two further sets without reply to complete a 7–4 victory, overturning a four-set deficit. Brow won the IDF World Championship for the first time, losing seven sets throughout the tournament and not facing a match dart in any match. He became the second champion in the event’s history after Max Mad, who had won the 2023 and 2024 editions, and the result improved his position in the IDF Order of Merit.

	Brow ~~won~~ the ~~IDF World Championship~~ for the ~~first time~~, ~~losing seven sets during~~ the tournament and ~~having no match darts thrown against~~ him~~. He became~~ the ~~second champion~~ of the ~~event~~ after ~~Max Mad, who~~ had ~~won~~ the ~~2023~~ and ~~2024~~ editions. ~~The result also improved Brow’s position in~~ the ~~IDF Order~~ of ~~Merit~~. White ~~was~~ runner-up ~~in his first final appearance~~.		After the presentation ceremony, both players took part in the customary televised interviews and media appearances. Brow described the title as the most important result of his career and admitted that he had struggled to find rhythm during the opening stages of the match, stating that he had to "reset" during the interval after falling four sets behind. He noted that he deliberately slowed his pace at the oche following the break and focused on scoring consistency rather than finishing opportunities, crediting White’s early performance for applying pressure. Brow added that winning the championship had been a long-term objective and said he now aimed to defend the title, commenting that he hoped to follow the example set by Max Mad’s consecutive championships and that his next goal was to "come back next year and do it again." He also thanked tournament officials, referees, and spectators for the support throughout the event before posing for photographs with the trophy.

			White congratulated Brow during his interview and described the defeat as disappointing but valuable experience, saying that reaching the final had shown him he could compete at the highest level of the circuit. He acknowledged that Brow’s scoring after the interval had prevented him from regaining control of the match and remarked that he was unable to match the sustained scoring in the latter stages. White stated he intended to return to the tournament with the aim of challenging for the title in future editions. Tournament representatives noted that the final featured two first-time finalists and highlighted the competitiveness of the current field. Following the interviews, Brow completed additional media duties and winner’s photographs, while White remained on stage for the runner-up presentation and subsequent press obligations.

	=== Third round ===		=== Third round ===
	~~Top~~ seed [[Max Mad~~]] continued his strong run, defeating [[~~Reed Scott~~]] 4-2 in a competitive match. Mad averaged 98.90~~, ~~maintaining his consistency throughout the contest~~. ~~Scott, with a~~ 97.~~35 average, pushed~~ the ~~defending champion but was unable to convert key opportunities, allowing Mad~~ to ~~advance~~ to the fourth round. [[Aiden Brooks~~]] edged out [[~~Mason Owens~~]] in a thrilling 4-3 encounter~~, ~~posting~~ a ~~101~~.~~47 average in one of the highest-quality matches of the round~~. ~~Owens, averaging 100~~.~~02, matched Brooks~~ in ~~scoring power, but Brooks delivered in the deciding set, showcasing his composure under pressure. Brooks’ victory sets up~~ a ~~fourth-round showdown with [[Max Mad]]~~.		In the upper section, top seed Max Mad advanced with a 4–2 victory over Reed Scott, averaging 99.87 to Scott’s 97.83. Mad maintained control during the latter stages of the match to secure progression to the fourth round. Aiden Brooks also moved through after defeating Tanner Vaughn 4–0. Brooks averaged 101.60 and limited Vaughn’s scoring opportunities throughout the match, setting up a meeting with Mason Owens, who progressed with a 4–2 win over Wesley Adams. Owens averaged 102.63 while Adams averaged 101.88 in a closely contested encounter.

	[[Zion Carter~~]] delivered a dominant performance~~, ~~securing a 4-1 victory over [[~~Brady Evans]] with a 98~~.56~~ average. ~~Carter’s scoring and finishing were clinical, while~~ Evans~~, averaging 96~~.~~32, struggled~~ to ~~keep up in the key moments.~~ Carter’s ~~strong form continues as he moves into the quarterfinals~~. [[Alex Brow~~]] completed~~ the ~~section with a commanding 4-0 win over [[Lukas Parker]]~~, averaging 96.83. ~~Brow’s accuracy~~ and ~~finishing proved too much for Parker, who posted a 94.77 average but was unable to secure~~ a set~~. Brow’s victory earns him a matchup against [[Zion Carter]] in the next round~~.		Zion Carter continued his strong tournament run, defeating Brady Evans 4–1 with a 105.98 average. Evans averaged 94.59 but was unable to match Carter’s finishing efficiency. Alex Brow joined him in the next stage after defeating Chase Foster 4–0, averaging 91.53. Foster averaged 86.79 and did not win a set.

	[[Gage Kelly~~]] emerged victorious in~~ a ~~tightly contested 4-3 match against [[Felix Grant]]~~. Kelly averaged 93.~~76, showcasing consistency~~ and ~~strong finishing under pressure, while Grant~~, with a 92.~~26 average, fought hard but fell just short in the decisive moments~~. ~~Kelly’s win sets up a quarterfinal clash against [[Kade Owens]]~~, who ~~impressed with~~ a ~~4-2~~ victory over ~~[[Eli Fletcher]]. Owens’ 101.67 average highlighted his high-scoring ability~~, ~~while Fletcher, despite a solid 98~~.~~76 average, struggled~~ to ~~keep up with Owens’ scoring power in the later sets~~.		In the second section, Gage Kelly progressed after a 4–2 victory over Jonah Nelson, averaging 98.39 compared with Nelson’s 89.95. Kelly advanced to face Kade Owens, who defeated Oliver Sanders 4–0. Owens averaged 101.67 and controlled the match from the opening set. Damon Edwards also moved through, defeating Zachary Clayton 4–2 with a 101.56 average. Clayton averaged 92.87. Edwards advanced to meet Dominic Steele, who secured a 4–2 victory over Curtis Monroe, averaging 90.02 to Monroe’s 85.40.

	~~[[Damon Edwards]] secured a solid 4-2 win over [[Alec Baker]], posting a 95~~.~~36 average~~. ~~Edwards controlled the match in key moments~~, ~~capitalizing on Baker’s missed opportunities~~. ~~Baker averaged 90~~.98 ~~but was unable to apply consistent pressure throughout the encounter~~. ~~Edwards moves on to face [[Dominic Steele]] in the quarterfinals~~, ~~following Steele’s thrilling 4-3~~ victory over ~~[[Brody Clarke]]. In one of the highest-quality matches of the round, Steele posted a remarkable 106.40 average~~, ~~outscoring Clarke’s impressive 101~~.~~65. Both players showcased exceptional finishing, but Steele held his nerve in the final set to close out the match~~.		Patrick Lane reached the fourth round after defeating Quentin Marsh 4–1. Lane averaged 97.46. Hayden Ingram advanced alongside him, defeating Sebastian West 4–1 while averaging 98.35. Wesley Glover defeated Yannis Wainwright 4–0 with a 98.56 average, and Alfie Hamilton progressed with a 4–1 victory over Jordan Knight, averaging 97.58.

	~~[[Patrick Lane]] secured a solid 4-2 victory over Grant Hayes, averaging 95.38.

Ingram averaged 98~~.35~~, while Nash pushed him to the limit with a 97.19~~ average~~, but Ingram held his nerve in the deciding set to secure the win~~. ~~In the next round~~, ~~Lane delivered one of the most dominant performances of the tournament, sweeping Ingram 4-0 with a commanding~~ 97.46 average. Ingram struggled throughout the match, managing only a 70.95 average, as Lane capitalized on every opportunity to book his place in the quarterfinals. [[Wesley Glover]] put in an impressive display, ~~defeating~~ Logan ~~Morgan 4-1~~ with a ~~101~~.37 average. ~~Morgan played well~~, averaging ~~100~~.33, ~~but Glover’s consistency and clinical finishing proved too strong. Glover moved on to face Alfie Hamilton, who secured a hard-fought 4-3 victory over Cameron Holt. Hamilton~~ averaged 97.~~58, edging out Holt’s 95.49 in a close encounter that went the distance~~.		In the final section, Wyatt Walker advanced after defeating Hudson Palmer 4–0, averaging 101.66. Kai Mitchell defeated Hayden Sharpe 4–0 with a 105.35 average. Parker Reeves defeated Quinn Sanders 4–2, averaging 97.38, before Logan White defeated Liam Nelson 4–0 with a 110.75 average. White then defeated Luke Littler 4–2 to reach the fourth round, averaging 109.74, while Littler averaged 97.07.

	The final match of ~~this~~ section ~~saw~~ Hamilton ~~defeat~~ Glover 4-3 in ~~an intense battle~~, ~~posting~~ an ~~impressive 99~~.30 average. ~~Glover~~, ~~averaging 98~~.56, ~~matched~~ Hamilton in scoring but ~~faltered on~~ key finishes, ~~allowing~~ Hamilton to ~~close out~~ the ~~decisive~~ set and ~~move~~ into the ~~quarterfinals~~.[[File:AlexBrowImage.png\|thumb\|188x188px]]		=== Fourth round ===
			The fourth round was played on 29–30 December in best-of-seven-set matches and determined the quarter-final line-up. In the top section of the draw, Max Mad defeated Aiden Brooks 4–3 in the closest match of the section. The match remained evenly balanced, with neither player able to establish a decisive lead before Mad secured the deciding set to progress. He was joined in the quarter-finals by Alex Brow, who defeated Zion Carter 4–1. Brow controlled the match through consistent scoring and held an advantage throughout the middle stages, limiting Carter to a single set despite Carter maintaining a high scoring rate.

			In the second section, Gage Kelly progressed after a 4–3 victory over Kade Owens. The match was level entering the final set, where Kelly secured the deciding set to advance. Damon Edwards also moved through after defeating Dominic Steele 4–3 in another deciding-set encounter. Edwards recovered after the match had remained close through the early stages and secured progression late in the contest.

			Patrick Lane advanced from the third section with a 4–2 victory over Hayden Ingram, maintaining a steady lead after the opening sets. Alfie Hamilton joined him in the quarter-finals after defeating Wesley Glover 4–3 in a closely contested match in which the lead changed multiple times before Hamilton secured the final set. In the final section, Wyatt Walker defeated Kai Mitchell 4–0 to advance, while Logan White overcame Parker Reeves 4–2. White then defeated Ethan Steel 4–3 in a deciding-set match to complete the quarter-final line-up.

			=== Quarter-finals ===
			The quarter-finals were played on 1 January in best-of-nine-set matches. Alex Brow produced the most decisive performance of the round, defeating top seed and two-time defending champion Max Mad 5–1. Brow established an early advantage by winning the opening sets and maintained control through consistent scoring and finishing. Mad, although maintaining a three-figure average, was unable to apply sustained pressure and won only a single set before Brow secured victory. The result ended Mad’s title defence and ensured a first-time champion would be crowned. In the other match in the top half, Gage Kelly defeated Damon Edwards 5–4 in the closest contest of the round. The match remained level throughout, with neither player leading by more than a single set. Kelly ultimately secured the deciding ninth set after both players recorded similar scoring rates across the match.
			In the bottom half of the draw, Alfie Hamilton overcame Patrick Lane 5–4 in another deciding-set match. Lane began strongly and held an early lead, but Hamilton recovered during the middle portion of the match to bring the score level. The players exchanged sets through the latter stages before Hamilton secured the final set to progress to the semi-finals. Both players maintained comparable scoring throughout the match, with finishing accuracy determining the outcome in the closing sets. The victory marked Hamilton’s deepest run in the tournament.

			The final quarter-final saw Logan White defeat Wyatt Walker 5–0. White controlled the match from the opening set and did not concede a set, producing the highest level of scoring of the round. Walker remained competitive in individual legs but was unable to convert key finishing opportunities. White’s victory completed the semi-final line-up and confirmed that all four remaining players were appearing in the World Championship semi-finals for the first time. The results set the semi-finals as Alex Brow against Gage Kelly and Alfie Hamilton against Logan White.

			=== Semi-finals ===
			Alex Brow defeated Gage Kelly 6–3 to reach his first IDF World Championship final. Brow began strongly, taking the opening set before Kelly responded to level the match. Brow then established control through superior scoring in the middle stages, winning three consecutive sets to move into a 4–1 lead. Kelly reduced the deficit by claiming the sixth set and later added another to narrow the match to 5–3. However, Brow secured the ninth set to complete a 6–3 victory.

			Brow maintained a higher scoring rate throughout the match and produced the majority of the high finishes, while Kelly remained competitive but was unable to recover after the mid-match deficit. The result ensured Brow became the first player from his section of the draw to reach the final.

			Logan White defeated Alfie Hamilton 6–2 to advance to the final. White opened the match by winning the first two sets and extended his advantage to 3–0 before Hamilton claimed his first set. White responded by taking the following two sets to establish a 5–1 lead. Hamilton won the seventh set to delay the result, but White secured the next set to complete the 6–2 victory.

			White’s scoring consistency and finishing efficiency proved decisive, particularly in the early stages where he built an advantage that Hamilton was unable to overturn. The win sent White into his first World Championship final and completed the tournament’s first final between two debut finalists.[[File:AlexBrowImage.png\|thumb\|188x188px]]

			The final, a best-of-13-sets match between Alex Brow and Logan White, was held on 3 January and was refereed by Russ Bray. In early 2025, Bray announced that he would officiate only the final of future International Darts Federation (IDF) World Championships. The match was the first IDF World Championship final for both players and the first in the event’s history to feature two finalists who had not previously reached the final. Brow reached the final after defeating Chase Foster, Lukas Parker, Zion Carter, Max Mad, and Gage Kelly, while White defeated Liam Nelson, Ethan Steel (12), Luke Littler (13), Parker Reeves, Wyatt Walker (16), and Alfie Hamilton.

			Brow won the opening leg with a 10-dart finish and later missed a nine-dart finish in the following leg, which White won. White subsequently won the next two legs to take the first set 3–1 and extended his lead by winning the next three sets to move ahead 4–0. After the interval, Brow improved his scoring and won the next two sets 3–0. He then won the following set to reduce the deficit to 4–3 and took the next two sets to lead 5–4, before winning two further sets without reply to secure a 7–4 victory.

			Brow won the IDF World Championship for the first time, losing seven sets during the tournament and having no match darts thrown against him. He became the second champion of the event after Max Mad, who had won the 2023 and 2024 editions. The result also improved Brow’s position in the IDF Order of Merit. White was runner-up in his first final appearance.
