Founded in 1998, the World Grand Prix is one of the biggest darts tournaments on the PDC circuit and it is one of seven ranking majors in the calendar year.

The competition is unique as it is the only double-start competition in the PDC calendar, with players required to start and finish on a double or bullseye in each leg.
