The Grand Slam of Darts is one of the major professional darts tournaments organized by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC).
Here are the key points:
📅 First held: 2007.
📍 Location: Wolverhampton, England (at the Aldersley Leisure Village since 2018, previously at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall).
🏆 Format:
Unique because it brings together players from both the PDC and the BDO (before the BDO folded), giving it a “champion vs. champion” feel.
Features a group stage (round robin) before moving into knockout rounds, unlike most straight knockout darts tournaments.
💰 Prize Fund: Around £650,000 (with the winner taking £150,000).
👑 Famous Winners:
🎯 Phil Taylor (6-time winner)
🎯 Michael van Gerwen (4-time winner)
🎯 Gerwyn Price (3-time winner, and the first Welsh winner)
More recently, players like Jonny Clayton and Michael Smith have also gone deep.
It’s considered one of the “big TV majors” in the darts calendar, partly because of its mix of champions and its distinctive group stage format.
