The 2025 PDC World Series of Darts returns for its sixth stop of the year this week. Oceania’s top darts talents will have the chance to test their skills against eight of the PDC’s finest arrowsmiths. Let’s go through our 2025 PDC Australian Darts Masters betting tips and analysis before finalizing our betting picks for the tournament.
The 2025 Australian Darts Masters will feature a 16-player field, with half representing the Oceania region and the other half made up of top PDC stars, including defending champion Gerwyn Price. The event will take place at the WIN Sports and Entertainment Centre in Wollongong, New South Wales, just like last year.

After two editions of the New South Wales Darts Masters, PDC decided to rebrand the tournament in 2024 and introduce the Australian Darts Masters. The tournament inherited Wollongong as the venue, and Price won the inaugural edition by beating Luke Littler in the final.
To better make sense of our Australian Darts Masters 2025 predictions, we need to understand the format of the competition. In the first round, PDC Tour stars are paired with Oceania players in 11-leg matches. The winners proceed to the quarter-finals, which are also best-of-11 affairs. The semi-finals will be played in a best-of-13 format, while the final will be a best-of-15 showdown.
After checking out the best sites for darts betting, these are the best outright darts 2025 Australian Masters odds we could find:
Darts tips for the Australian Masters 2025 will heavily favor Luke Littler, who won the World Matchplay Darts final against James Wade last week.
Luke Humphries will be one of the 2025 PDC Australian Darts Masters betting tips favorites as well. The World No. 1 suffered a shock defeat to Gian van Veen at the World Matchplay recently, but he should be confident of bouncing back in Australia.
Gerwyn Price returns to Wollongong as the reigning Australian Masters champion. The Welshman will be back in action for the first time since his World Matchplay quarter-final exit last week.
Online sportsbookies in Australia are also showing strong faith in Josh Rock. The Northern Irishman had a strong semi-final at the World Matchplay and will look to build on that.
Stephen Bunting will be another player to watch in Australia. The 2024 Masters champion claimed his first World Series title earlier this year, when he lifted the Bahrain Masters trophy in April.
Unfortunately, our predictions for the PDC 2025 Australian Masters will be limited to outright picks since other markets are not available right now. We’ll name a regular pick, along with a high-odds option for those looking for something a bit more adventurous.

Price has bounced back from a frustrating 2024 by recapturing glimpses of his best form this year. A strong run to the BetMGM Premier League Darts semi-finals has been complemented by three Players Championship wins, a World Cup final appearance, and titles at both the Polish Darts Masters and Baltic Sea Darts Open. At the latter, he impressed with a victory over Gary Anderson, marking his second title in just a week. In his latest outing, he fell to Northern Irish sensation Rock in the World Matchplay quarter-finals, but he was incredibly dominant in his first two matches of the competition.
With 410 maximums, the Welshman ranks third on the men’s tour this year, trailing only world champion Luke Littler (564) and Beau Greaves (426). He also leads the way for 95+ averages, hitting the mark in 90 of his 127 official matches. The Iceman arrives in Australia as the tournament’s inaugural and current champion, and based on his form this year, he looks a strong contender once again.

Haupai Puha put on an incredible fight against former World No. 2 Rob Cross the last time he stepped onto the Australian Darts Masters stage. After a flying start from Cross, Puha regained his composure and came close to leveling the scores. In the end, Cross edged out with a 6-5 win, but Puha returned home with an incredible experience.
The Kiwi darts player became the first New Zealander to earn a two-year PDC Pro Tour card. Puha made it to the 2025 UK Open fourth round this year. He is also a six-time DPNZ Pro Tour champion. Puha faces an uphill battle in his second Australian Darts Masters campaign, but a few fearless performances like last time could earn him a big reward (and those brave enough to back him at 101.00 (100/1)).
Gerwyn Price’s form in 2025 has been superb—arguably stronger than it was heading into last year’s Australian Darts Masters. So, a repeat victory in Wollongong looks well within reach, with handy odds on the Welshman prevailing this weekend.
