All predictions fulfilled, and the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship will have a dream final, between two of the most renowned darts players in the world: the three-world champion Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler, the "wonder kid" that has taken the darts world by storm.
The Dart World Championship (with most participants coming from the United Kingdom or the Netherlands) started in mid-December, and ends today, January 3rd. Yesterday, in the semi-finals, Van Gerwen defeated Chris Dobey, and Littler also took care of Stephen Bunting: both games ended 6-1.
Seeing how easily they demolished the other semi-finalists, it's clear that van Gerwen and Littler are the kings in the sport right now. But who will win? Dutchman Michael van Gerwen, 35, has won the PDC World Championship three times, in 2014, 2017 and 2019.
Littler, with half his age, hasn't won it yet... but he came very close last year, losing it to Luke Humphries. "Michael has been in numerous finals; this is only my second, but I know where I went wrong last year, and I'm sure I will fix it", he said.
