Participants in the World Darts Championship do not receive additional cash prizes for hitting 180s.

Nonetheless, for every 180 scored at Ally Pally, Paddy Power will contribute £1,000 to Prostate Cancer UK.

Last year, a total of 914 180s were recorded, leading Paddy Power to enhance their donations to an impressive £1 million.

Michael Smith has set the record for the most 180s scored in a single World Darts Championship.

In 2022, he achieved an astonishing 83 maximums, surpassing Gary Anderson’s former record of 71.

Bully Boy was defeated by Michael van Gerwen in that year’s final but went on to win the title the following year.

Here are the last ten players with the highest number of 180s:
