Winmau World Darts Masters LIVE results as Luke Humphries leads the stars on day one

The big guns of darts are getting rolled out again with Luke Humphries heading the elite cast at the 2025 Winmau World Masters.

World No.1 Humphries is the biggest star as the darts show gets on the road at Arena MK in Milton Keynes. Following Wednesday’s qualifiers, the final 32 has been finalised.
