Can These Pro Golfers Handle the Pressure of Pro Darts?!

DP World Tour golfers Andy Sullivan and Matt Baldwin stepped outside their comfort zone and headed to the iconic Winter Gardens in Blackpool for a darts experience like no other — at the 2025 Betfred World Matchplay.

From meeting darts legends like Wayne Mardle and Stephen Bunting to experiencing the famous walk-on in front of thousands, Andy and Matt took to the oche and swapped their golf clubs for darts in a classic game of 501. Who will come out on top?

The pair will return to their natural arena at the 2025 Betfred British Masters, hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at The Belfry.
