James Wade Pokes Fun at Josh Rock in Hilarious Drawing Challenge

James Wade has been left looking rather embarrassed after a hilarious drawing challenge during his trip to Auckland.

What happened?

The PDC gave James Wade, Stephen Bunting, and Josh Rock just 30 seconds to recreate the city's famous SkyCity Tower on a drawing pad. Wade's efforts were met with amusement by his rivals, with Rock joking that his drawing looked like the Eiffel Tower.

Why it matters for James Wade

Wade's drawing was described as "miles better" than Rock's, but he was not impressed by the benchmark. "Yeah, but Josh sounds like...", Wade began, before stopping himself. "I'm not going to say what Josh sounds like, but I don't feel like that's any kind of feat for me, to be fair."

What comes next?

The drawing challenge was filmed around the 2026 New Zealand Darts Masters, where Wade ultimately went furthest of the trio. Wade whitewashed Kayden Milne 6-0 and then beat Rock 6-4 in the quarter-finals before eventual champion Jonny Clayton ended his run with a 7-2 semi-final victory.
