Qualification criteria has been confirmed for the 2025 Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts, ahead of the prestigious event's return to Wolverhampton in November.
The annual 32-player tournament returns to the WV Active Aldersley from November 8-16, as the sport’s biggest names battle it out for the iconic Eric Bristow Trophy.
Reigning Grand Slam champion and World Champion Luke Littler headlines this year’s confirmed field so far alongside three-time winner Michael van Gerwen, the 2024/25 World Championship runner-up.
The finalists from PDC televised events over a 12-month period and additional qualifiers will make up to 24 places at this year’s Grand Slam, with eight players currently assured of their spot in the event.
Players Championship Finals and World Masters winner Luke Humphries joins Littler as the second player to have picked up a Premier event title so far during the qualifying period.
2024 Grand Slam runner-up Martin Lukeman, Jonny Clayton and James Wade qualify as runners-up in TV events.
World Youth Championship winner Gian van Veen and runner-up Jurjen van der Velde have confirmed their qualification, and will be joined by winners of the Women's World Matchplay, CDC Continental Cup, PDC Asian Championship and the 2025 Challenge Tour, Development Tour and Women’s Series Order of Merit winners.
The Premier League, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, European Championship and World Series of Darts Finals provide further opportunities for players to seal their qualification through Premier events.
If the 24 places are not filled from Premier event winners, runners-up and additional qualifiers, winners from the 2025 PDC European Tour and Players Championship events could also secure Grand Slam spots.
A further eight players will also come through the PDC Tour Card Holder Qualifier on October 31, after which the 32-player field will be finalised.
The 2025 Grand Slam of Darts will be the last in the 32-player format before the tournament expands to feature 48 stars from next year.
