We take a look through the previous winners of the Darts UK Open since Phil Taylor captured the competition's first title back in 2003.
Phil Taylor was the winner of the inaugural UK Open, defeating Shayne Burgess 18-8 in the final in 2003.
The Power remains the most successful player in the competition with five titles, though Michael van Gerwen will be eyeing up the chance of overtaking him, having won three honours.
No player has won the UK open in three consecutive tournaments, though Taylor, Van Gerwen, Raymond van Barneveld and most recently Luke Littler have won back-to-back titles.
The Nuke reigned supreme in 2025, seeing off James Wade 11-2 in the final, before replicating that success with another triumph over the Machine, 11-7 12 months later, to further strengthen his cement his position at the top of the PDC Order of Merit.
