What is the Grand Slam of Darts?

The Grand Slam of Darts is a darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation and is known as the Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts for sponsorship purposes.

The PDC used to invite the best performing players from its rival, the British Darts Organisation (BDO), until the BDO went into liquidation in September 2020.
