Darts stars have been handed a golden £30,000 incentive be a Premier League nine-dart hero.
Tournament sponsors BetMGM will reward any player who smashes the perfect leg during this year’s season with a custom-made set of 18ct gold arrows. Worth £30,000 and made bespoke by Humphrey and Hawkins, the prize is up for grabs for any of the eight players who achieve the finish which has been done 16 times in the tournament’s 20-year history.
In addition, it can be won multiple times during the 17 weeks of BetMGM Premier League Darts action and Luke Littler cracked one in last year’s Final again Luke Humphries. PDC Head of Media, Dave Allen, said: “This is a great initiative by BetMGM which adds even more interest to what is already a fantastically entertaining tournament. No tournament has featured more nine-darters than the BetMGM Premier League and this added incentive has certainly got the players talking ahead of the new season kicking off in Belfast.”
UK Director at BetMGM, Sam Behar, added: “We can’t wait for this year’s BetMGM Premier League Darts campaign to get underway and we felt it was important to reward the eight players if they can thrill the crowds by hitting a famous nine-darter. For every perfect leg hit in this year’s tournament we’ll be giving a player a set of 18ct solid gold darts, worth £30,000, as our way of congratulating them.
“There have already been 16 nine-darters in BetMGM Premier League Darts history and there’s no limit to the number of giveaways so there’s plenty to keep the players interested!”
