Luke Littler has been installed as favourite to maintain his stranglehold on the world number one spot by capturing his latest Grand Slam of Darts title.
The Nuke returns to Wolverhampton as the defending champion having followed-up his maiden victory at WV Active Aldersley in 2024 with his second success there 12 months ago.
He now has the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of fellow serial PDC winners Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen in becoming just the third person to go back-to-back-to-back in the event.
Odds will display when the market is available.
Littler enjoyed a scintillating start to 2026, capturing the coveted World Darts Championship for a second time, before backing that up with triumphs in the World Masters, Premier League, World Cup, UK Open and World Matchplay.
In fact, prior to his opening round defeat at the World Grand Prix just over a month ago, he was on course to become the first player in the sport's history to win every major TV tournament in a calendar year.
However, since being surprisingly dumped out of the Leicester-staged competition by Luke Woodhouse, the 19-year-old has subsequently fallen short in the European Championship and World Series of Darts Finals - both of which he was eliminated from at the quarter-final stage.
While he will now toe the oche in Wolverhampton as the 11/8 favourite to bounce back to winning ways, he will be wary of a stacked 48-player field that also includes former champions Luke Humphries (7/2), Gerwyn Price (10/1) and Dutch pair Gian van Veen (18/1) and Van Gerwen (33/1).
