Eight elite PDC representatives were drawn to play eight Nordic and Baltic representatives in the first round on Friday 6 June; the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final all took place on Saturday 7 June.

The PDC announced the eight players participating as their elite representatives at the event on 15 April. When the draw was announced, it was revealed that Michael van Gerwen withdrew from the event due to family reasons and was replaced by Chris Dobey.
The seedings were based on the 2025 World Series rankings after two events:
The six Nordic & Baltic Tour Card holders were joined by the top two ranked players on the PDC Nordic & Baltic Tour Order of Merit at the cut-off point on 11 May.
All eight elite PDC representatives were victorious in the first round. Luke Humphries â who had just won the 2025 Premier League â and Jonny Clayton were taken to last-leg deciders by Madars Razma and Darius Labanauskas respectively but both won 6âÂÂ5; Labanauskas missed two match darts in the process. Clayton also produced a 170 checkout. Luke Littler, who was made pre-tournament favourite by tournament sponsor Mr Vegas, overcame a slow start to defeat Viktor Tingström 6âÂÂ3 and set up a match with Nathan Aspinall in the quarter-finals. Aspinall whitewashed Denmark's Benjamin Reus 6âÂÂ0, while Gerwyn Price began his title defence with a 6âÂÂ3 win over Cor Dekker. Chris Dobey, Rob Cross and Stephen Bunting also progressed.
Gerwyn Price produced a three-dart average of 108 â a tournament record â to eliminate Luke Humphries in the quarter-finals. Luke Littler was also beaten at the same stage, losing 6âÂÂ3 to Nathan Aspinall who registered his second win in 16 matches against Littler. Rob Cross whitewashed Chris Dobey 6âÂÂ0 and Stephen Bunting beat Jonny Clayton 6âÂÂ3. In the semi-finals, Stephen Bunting stopped a late surge from Nathan Aspinall to win 7âÂÂ5 and Rob Cross defeated Gerwyn Price 7âÂÂ4, setting up a rematch of the previous World Series final at the Dutch Darts Masters that Cross won 8âÂÂ5.
In the final, Cross led 3âÂÂ2 before Bunting won five consecutive legs to make the score 7âÂÂ3 in his favour, including a 104 checkout. Bunting almost won the match with a 170 checkout but missed the bullseye; however, he then checked out 25 to secure the 8âÂÂ4 victory. This was Bunting's second World Series title of the year after winning the Bahrain Darts Masters in January, while Cross finished as Nordic Masters runner-up for the second year running. Bunting told ITV4 in his post-match interview that he was unsure if he was going to win another title after poor performances in recent months. He added: "But, when you win titles like this against the calibre of players that I'm playing week-in week-out, it means an awful lot."
