The 2024 Grand Slam of Darts (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2024 Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts) was the eighteenth staging of the Grand Slam of Darts, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. The event was held at Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton from 9–17 November 2024.[1]
Luke Humphries was the defending champion, having defeated Rob Cross 16–8 in the 2023 final.[2] He was eliminated in the group stage, after losing his first two matches. Michael van Gerwen was eliminated in the group stages, for the first time since 2010, losing 5–4 to Ryan Joyce in a last leg decider. Michael Smith was also eliminated in the group stage, which meant that a new name would be on the trophy.
This was the first time the top three seeded players were eliminated in the group stage.[3]
Luke Littler won the tournament, defeating Martin Lukeman 16–3 in the final, and only losing 33 legs in the whole tournament, for his first ranking major title.[4]
