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 2024 staging of the PDC World Darts Championship set a new record for tournament 180s, with a colossal 914 being recorded across the 16-day long extravaganza.
It smashed the previous record of 901, which was set 12 months earlier, by 13 maximums, and was officially broken during the 2024 final between Luke Humphries and Luke Littler.
Humphries, who notched 23 180s in the final, went on to reign supreme against pre-tournament 150/1 shot, Littler, capturing his first Alexandra Palace crown in the process.

3 | 901 | 2023 |
4 | 880 | 2019 |

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 Luke Humphries (73), Gary Anderson (71) and Peter Wright (68) making up the top five.
