Day 17 of the 2026 PDC Darts World Championship will be the final day of darts in 2025, but there are still important matches to be played, as six more players will look to secure their spot in the quarterfinal round, which will be played on Jan. 1.
To start the afternoon, Luke Woodhouse and Krzysztof Ratajski battle for a spot against Luke Littler in the next round. Then, Jonny Clayton will look to equal his best performance at a WC if he advances against Andreas Harrysson.
To finish off the afternoon, Justin Hood will continue his attempt to get enough money to buy a Chinese restaurant, as he plays Josh Rock, who is looking to get a step closer to the Sid Waddell Trophy.
The evening session looks very similar to Sunday's, as Gian van Veen plays debutant Charlie Manby. The game of the night will follow, as Michael van Gerwen plays Gary Anderson.
Finally, 2024 world champion Luke Humphries plays Kevin Doets to cap off the day and the fourth round.
