First held in 2007, the Grand Slam of Darts has been won by some of the sport’s all-time greats, including Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, Raymond van Barneveld and Luke Humphries.

Originally conceived as a tournament where the PDC would invite the best players from rival organisation the BDO, since the latter’s liquidation it has become a PDC ranking event.

The latest edition of the event is coming up this month, with 32 darters hoping to get their hands on the Eric Bristow Trophy - including the sport’s new superstar Luke Littler.
