Players at the World Darts Championship do not get any extra money for hitting 180s.

That said, for every 180 that is scored at Ally Pally, Paddy Power will donate £1,000 to Prostate Cancer UK.

Last year, 914 180s were hit, but Paddy Power rounded up their donation to a whopping £1million.

Michael Smith has scored the most 180s in an individual World Darts Championship event.

In 2022, he accumulated a stunning tally of 83 maximums, beating Gary Anderson’s previous record of 71.

Bully Boy was defeated by Michael van Gerwen in the final that year, but he went on to finally claim the title 12 months later.

Here are the past 10 players that have hit the most 180s winners:

2024: Luke Humphries (73 180’s & won tournament)
2023: Michael Smith (66 180’s & won tournament)
2022: Michael Smith (83 180’s & finished runner-up)
2021: Gerwyn Price (55 180’s & won tournament)
2020: Peter Wright (68 180’s & won tournament)
2019: Michael Smith (64 180’s & finished runner-up)

2016: Adrian Lewis (60 180’s & finished runner-up)
2015: Gary Anderson (64 180’s & won tournament)

The data suggests that as time goes on, we are being treated to more and more maximums.

Could we see a new record in 2025?
