The 2024 Bahrain Darts Masters was the second staging of the tournament by the Professional Darts Corporation. It was the first event in the season's World Series of Darts. The tournament featured 16 players (8 PDC representatives and 8 Asian representatives), and was held at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain, from 18–19 January 2024.
Michael Smith was the defending champion, having defeated Gerwyn Price 8–6 in the 2023 final. However, he lost 7–6 to Michael van Gerwen in the semi-finals.
On 19 January, two days before his 17th birthday, Luke Littler became the youngest player to hit a televised nine-dart finish, achieving the feat in the first leg of his 6–3 quarter-final win over Nathan Aspinall. The previous record of 17 years and 298 days had been set by van Gerwen at the 2007 Masters of Darts. Littler also became the second player, after Phil Taylor, to hit a nine-darter in the World Series.
Littler went on to win the tournament, and capture his first PDC senior title, by beating Price 7–3 in the semi-finals and van Gerwen 8–5 in the final. He became the third player, after van Gerwen and Aspinall, to win a World Series title on his debut.
