Brody Klinge secures PDC World Darts Championship debut

Brody Klinge has secured his debut at the PDC World Darts Championship this December after finishing at the top of the Australian Darts Association (ADA) Tour 2026 rankings. Klinge dominated the season, securing nine titles out of 24 events.

During the final weekend of the ADA Tour in Elizabeth North, Klinge claimed his ninth title of the season by winning Event 21. He reached the final with dominant performances, including a 6-1 victory over Karl Schaefer, before defeating Danny Porter in the decider.

Despite Klinge’s success, Raymond Smith maintained pressure for a World Championship berth by winning both Event 22 and Event 23. Smith defeated Klinge 6-3 in the Event 22 final and won a close 6-5 thriller in the Event 23 final after Klinge failed to convert ten match darts.
