The Saudi Arabia Darts Masters 2026, part of Riyadh Season, will offer the largest nine-darter reward in darts history, after Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, confirmed a potential prize of $200,000 for a perfect leg during the tournament.

Scheduled for January 19 to 20, the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters 2026 will be staged at the Global Theater in Boulevard City. The event will bring together leading international and Asian players, with matches broadcast worldwide and a strong focus on both sporting quality and entertainment.

The nine-darter prize structure at the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters 2026 includes a $100,000 bonus for any player achieving a perfect leg. That amount can be doubled to $200,000 through the Riyadh Season Bullseye challenge, where the successful player gets a single dart at the bullseye to claim the enhanced figure.

This incentive is described as the biggest nine-darter prize in Professional Darts Corporation history. The format aims to add extra drama to the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters 2026, with the bullseye throw becoming a focal point for spectators in Riyadh Season and viewers following the coverage globally.

The Saudi Arabia Darts Masters 2026 will feature eight leading Professional Darts Corporation stars against eight top Asian players. Among the PDC contingent is reigning World Champion Luke Littler, who hit a nine-darter on the World Series stage in Bahrain in 2024, underlining the high standard expected in Riyadh.

Also competing in the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters 2026 are 2023/24 World Champion Luke Humphries, World Championship runner-up Gian van Veen, and three-time World Champion Michael van Gerwen. They are joined by former World Champion Gerwyn Price, world number seven Stephen Bunting, former UK Open champion Danny Noppert, and 2023 World Matchplay winner Nathan Aspinall.
