A truly ridiculous standard of darts that almost nobody is capable of competing with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Littler is all about making history as well as pocketing as much cash as he can, so winning back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts titles and earning \u00a3150,000 in the process is something that massively appeals to the Englishman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/luke-littler-slams-hypocritical-players-championship-rules-late\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Littler raged at Players Championship officials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last week after missing the registration deadline due to traffic on the motorway, but has since passed his driving test and may even drive himself to Wolverhampton come Saturday if he fancies it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All eyes are on Luke Littler at the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts at the WV Active Aldersley in Wolverhampton to see if he can follow in the footsteps of Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price in becoming the fourth back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"THE CHAMP IS CROWNED! \ud83c\udfc6 Final Highlights - 2024 Grand Slam of Darts\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ayz53MgNmGA?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>How Many Grand Slam Of Darts Back-To-Back Winners Have There Been?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its inception in 2007, there have only ever been three back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts winners in history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first player to achieve the feat was 16-time world champion Phil Taylor, who won back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts titles on two separate occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;The Power&#8217; won the first three Grand Slam of Darts tournaments in a row from 2007-2009, before\u00a0 going back-to-back once again in 2013 and 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael van Gerwen became the second player in history to win back-to-back Grand Slam titles, actually winning three in a row from 2015-2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dutchman\u2019s run was ended in 2018 by Gerwyn Price, who turned out to be the next back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts champion. The Welshman won his first title in 2018, before adding another 12 months later in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, there hasn&#8217;t been another player to win back-to-back Grand Slam titles and reign in Wolverhampton for consecutive years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, Luke Littler heads the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/grand-slam-of-darts-field-draw-schedule-2025\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grand Slam of Darts field<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and has the chance to become just the fourth back-to-back winner of the tournament in history, adding his name to the illustrious list of former consecutive champions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Gerwyn Price Was The Last Back-To-Back Grand Slam Of Darts Winner<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last darts player to win back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts titles was of course Gerwyn Price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;The Iceman&#8217; won his first ever PDC major in 2018 at the Grand Slam, before successfully defending his crown 12 months later to win the third most prestigious PDC major title two years on the trot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of Price&#8217;s triumphs came against Scotsmen too. The Welshman\u2019s first title in 2018 came courtesy of a 16-13 victory over Gary Anderson in a match that has gone down in history as one of the most feisty professional darts encounters of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"THE MOST DISCUSSED MATCH OF 2018 | Price v Anderson | 2018 Grand Slam of Darts Final\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u4v0iymS6MY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following year, Price defeated Peter Wright 16-6 in the final, averaging 107.86 in the process and claiming the coveted Eric Bristow Trophy for the second time in as many years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having triumphed 12 months ago at the 2024 Grand Slam, reigning world champion Luke Littler aims to become just the fourth back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts champion in history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year &#8216;The Nuke&#8217; recorded the second largest margin of victory in Grand Slam history with a 16-3 win over Martin Lukeman in Wolverhampton, and will be hoping to follow that up this year with another title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, Price will be there or thereabouts and will fancy his chances at winning a fourth Eric Bristow Trophy come Sunday, November 16.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/gerwyn-price-hand-injury-update-flanders-darts-trophy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price issued a fresh injury update<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recently after fellow players and fans voiced concern over his physique, but &#8216;The Iceman&#8217; is raring to go and insists he is fitter than ever right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>All Previous Back-To-Back Grand Slam of Darts Winners<\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\"><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><b>Darts player<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><b>Grand Slam of Darts<\/b><br \/>\n<b>B2B Wins<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Phil Taylor<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2007, 2008, 2009 &amp; 2013, 2014<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Michael van Gerwen<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2015, 2016, 2017<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gerwyn Price<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2018, 2019<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Grand Slam of Darts is arguably the third biggest major in the calendar, with Luke Littler chasing back-to-back titles in Wolverhampton this year.
