PDC World Darts Championship: Most tournament & player 180s

We take a look at the all-time records for the most tournament 180s and the most individual 180s at the PDC World Darts Championship.

What is the highest number of 180s at a PDC World Darts Championship?

The 2026 staging of the PDC World Darts Championship set a new record for tournament 180s, with a colossal 1,127 being recorded across the 20-day long extravaganza - smashing the previous record of 914.

World champion Luke Littler notched the highest amount of maximums at the tournament with 73, 14 more than semi-finalist and two-time champion of the world Gary Anderson.

Who has recorded the most 180s in a single World Darts Championship?

No player has scored more 180s in an individual World Darts Championship than Michael Smith's remarkable tally of 83 during the 2022 event.

Despite succumbing to defeat in the final against Michael van Gerwen, 'Bully Boy' rattled home a sensational number of maximums, smashing Gary Anderson's previous record of 71.

'The Flying Scotsman's' total had seemingly stood the test of time, with no player between 2018 and 2021 able to improve upon that number until Smith ran riot on the treble 20 bed at Ally Pally.

The 76 180s recorded by Luke Littler on the way to winning the 2025 World Darts Championship is the second highest amount recorded by a single player, with The Nuke's 2026 tally of 73, the same amount Luke Humphries achieved in 2024, and Anderson's haul of 71 making up the top five.
