Grand Slam of Darts 2024: Dates, format, players, prize money and schedule

We are safely into the final group games of the 2024 Grand Slam of Darts edition.

The most high-profile departure is that of Luke Humphries, who despite having one game left to play, will not progress to the knockout stages. The Newbury-born star lost to Rowby-John Rodriguez on Saturday and needed a win against James Wade, but succumbed to a 5-3 defeat.

Luke Littler is already through after wins against Keane Barry and Dimitri Van den Bergh, with the 17-year-old now well in front with the bookmakers pricing him at 9/4 to win the tournament. He will face Lourence Ilagan in his final group clash on Tuesday.
