Tournament overview[edit | edit source]

The inaugural championship introduced a new global structure for darts under the IDF. The expanded 96-player format created a highly competitive field, with emerging players competing alongside established names.

Luke Littler was the breakout star of the tournament. As the number two seed, he dominated his section of the draw with high averages and clinical finishing, often exceeding the 100 mark across multiple matches.

Max Mad displayed remarkable composure and consistency throughout the tournament. His ability to maintain scoring pressure over long-format matches proved to be the defining factor in his run to the title.

Final[edit | edit source]

The final saw Max Mad face Luke Littler in a best-of-13 sets match. Littler matched Mad early, but missed doubles at key moments allowed Mad to build a lead.

Mad capitalised on these opportunities, taking control of the match in the middle stages. Littler remained competitive but was unable to recover, as Mad secured a 7–4 victory to become the inaugural IDF World Champion.
