The big man had so much fun sponsoring the last World Darts Championship that he’s decided to do it all again!
That’s right, the Paddy Power World Darts Championship is set to launch into action on Sunday, 15th December as the Alexandra Palace once again stages the biggest Christmas party in town.

Luke Humphries is the reigning champion after a titanic battle in the final with teenage sensation, Luke Littler, earlier this year and the pair are aiming to reach the showpiece for the second season in a row on Friday, 3rd January.
A total of 96 players will be hoping to lift the Sid Waddell Trophy and bag a big slice of the £2.5million in prize money.
World Darts Championship odds are on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise the all-important schedule and session times can be found below.
