The 2023 Grand Slam of Darts (known for sponsorship reasons as the Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts) was the seventeenth staging of the Grand Slam of Darts, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. The event took place at the Aldersley Leisure Village, Wolverhampton, 11–19 November 2023.[1]
Michael Smith was the defending champion, after defeating Nathan Aspinall 16–5 in the 2022 final,[2] however, he was eliminated during the group stage. Luke Humphries won his second major and first Grand Slam title by defeating Rob Cross 16–8 in the final. Humphries won every match he played in the tournament, hitting six 100+ averages in the process.[3]
Ryan Searle hit a nine-dart finish during his group-stage win over Nathan Rafferty.[4]
The prize fund for the Grand Slam remained the same as the year before at £650,000.
