It's one of the toughest feats to achieve in the sport.

Every 9-darter in World Darts Grand Prix history

In the history of the World Darts Grand Prix, achieving a 9-darter is a remarkable accomplishment, made even more impressive by the unique double-in, double-out format. A 9-darter occurs when a player successfully hits all nine darts in a single leg. Here are the players who have accomplished this feat at the World Grand Prix:

1. Brendan Dolan made history in 2011 as the first player to hit a perfect leg in the event's format. His achievement set the stage for future 9-darters.

2. James Wade and Robert Thornton share the distinction of being the only other players to achieve a 9-darter in the same game. Their combined feat highlights the extraordinary challenge presented by the World Grand Prix format.

3. Luke Littler, a teenage phenom and rising star in darts, has hit a 9-darter in his career. As the youngest player on this list, Littler's achievement adds to the event's legacy of exceptional performances.

These players stand out in the World Darts Grand Prix history for their exceptional skills and ability to overcome the unique challenges posed by the tournament's format.
