John Part is the Current Holder and the Tourney starts tonight. Im hoping Phil Taylor makes it a 14th Title win for himself after missing out on the last two years!
 
Holder John Part goes out in 1st round and a few other top seeds have gone as well!
 
Saw the epic final 2 years ago: Barney v Phil Taylor - whilst in Pakistan. Watched it Live at 3am on Tensports.

I used to play darts - had the perfect physique for it.

Will watch the final again. Its great drama.
 
Phil "the power" Taylor just cruised past Michael van Gerwen 4-0 in the 2nd round
 
Any one see John Part get dumped from this tournament!

When is the final?
 
1/4 final Line up

Phil Taylor v Co Stompe
Mervin King V B Bates
Van Barneveld V J Klassen
P nicholson v J wade

Barney won probably the best ever final against Taylor two years ago.

On paper Barney is on harder side of draw. Klassen is a very good young player. and the winner will face James wade whose been best young player to come through ranks in last 2 years. Finally Geordie cum Aussie Nicholson has been the surprise gate crasher in this party!

No doubt about it :aiqbal

Saw it live in Pakistan - 3am!

Barney's win last night v Baxtor went down to 'sudden death'. Good prep for a tough fnal v 'The Power' :)

Well two best finals ive seen Taylor has lost both to Barney and Part!

I got a feeling the Power will take his title back after 2 years with out it!
 
Barney has got the harder side of the draw just scrapped past Baxtor last night but i still reckon HIS THE MAN

Was a good fightback by Bates - thought the 'Welsh boyo' would make it through.

Untouchable is 'The Power' - no one will stop him this year - his old 'swagger' has returned...and that 'glint' in his eye.

Look how Barney has struggled so far - then witnes THE POWER!
 
The man is an absolute legend, this will be his 12th world championship if he wins it. Eric Bristow only won it 5 times and he was considered a great at the time.

Bristow is my generation - The Craftney Cockney! Never thought he would be surpassed.

But Taylor took it to a new, unsurpassable level

Barney hasn't struggled in all his match, I would say in his last match, he had a big problem with his finishing. His scoring was pretty good and he came up against a fired up Baxter, best I've seen Baxter play in years.

Barney averaged over 100 in his matches prior to the Baxter match, so he's still the biggest threat to Taylor, although Barney will have to be at his very very best to present a challenge to Taylor.

The Baxter match was his first REAL test - quarter final stage.

And he was really sweating.

And its ALL about the finishing at this level - ordinary Joes from places you've never heard of can score heavy - but its about hitting those doubles.

With your height & reach - darts must be a doddle for you Raz!!!
 
If anyone is to beat Taylor, it'll be Merv King.
Hopefully he'll do it in the semi and hopefully go all the way!
 
Barney was on fire last night and won 5-1 including a Nine-Dart Finish!

Wade won other semi 5-3

so it should be a humdinger of a semi-final!
 
I cant believe I missed the '9 dart finish' last night!!!
 
Taylor and Barney through to the final again, with 6-2 and 6-4 wins over Mervyn King and James Wade respectively in the semis
 
James Wade was on top v Barney

Had 3 attempts at a double to go 3-1 up - he was throwing with the advantage and just crumbled!

An attempt at double 4 went into 13 and he went 'bust'

And Barney destroyed him!
 
So its Taylor V barney again i hope its just as good as two years ago.
 
Punishing darts from Taylor - absolutely relentless.

Stormed into a 2-0 lead.

Barney came back - then there was a epic 4th set. Barney had 2 darts to make it 2-2

He missed and Taylor went in at the interval 3-1 up

No change after the break

Taylor leads 4-1 (1st to 7)

Taylor's 3 dart average now approaching 109 !!!!
 
Power Darts in progress.

Taylor 6 - 1 Barney

Just going through the formalities - should be over in about 15 mins

:) Taylor just proving why hes the Greatest ever Tungsten Thrower!
 
I'm gonna look for my old dartboard and stick it up in the kitchen for 4 weeks - whilst the missus is in Pakistan :)
 
Oxy/AJ can one of you guys please tell me what the difference is between the 2 different 'darts organisations' (as it were).

I mean on the one hand there's the current World Championship being played with the likes of Ted Hanky, Martin Adams etc and on the other hand the 'other' Darts Championship with Merv King, Barny (both of whom switched recently) and of course Taylor.

Is it an ICL/IPL type thing? :)

The British Darts Organisation (BDO) was the original darts governing body - their tournaments were always televised on terrestrial TV (BBC)

Their power was challenged about 15 years ago - and a new body was formed called the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC).

I think the top players at the time 'broke away' from the BDO - and I think Barry Hearn might have had something to do with it, but dont quote me on that!

Its unlike IPL/ICL as they are both new organistaions - whereas the PDC is a 'breakaway' organisation - more akin to the various boxing governing bodies (WBC/WBA/WBO/IBF etc)

PDC is less traditional, covered by 'pay-tv' - offeres more glitz, glamour and prize-money

So we effectively have 2 tournaments running concurrently - and 2 world darts champions!

Oxys pretty much summed it up above.

The PDC is a much stronger quality of darts i must say also.
 
Ah i see, well yeah the quality is definitely better in PDC

Thank you :)
 
PDC World Darts Championship 2022

Peter Wright wins PDC World Darts Championship title for second time

Peter Wright produced a sensational comeback to beat Michael Smith in a thrilling final of the PDC World Darts Championship.

Trailing 5-4 and with Smith two legs up in the 10th set, Wright fought back to win three sets in a row to claim the title.

The Scot, champion in 2020, is only the sixth player to win the title twice.

"I'm over the moon, I've got her back," said Wright. "This is my lady and I'm happy to get it back."

"I didn't turn up for eight sets and it was horrible and I was telling myself off so I stopped doing that," added Wright, who changed darts twice during the final.

"I was getting more and more frustrated with myself and I stopped doing that and that's why my darts straightened up.

"To be part of that elite group, people might have said I was lucky to win to beat Michael van Gerwen [in 2020] who wasn't on form that year but I can prove to everyone I can win it horrible as well."

The 51-year-old wins £500,000 in prize money and is only £15,250 behind world number one Gerwyn Price in the world darts ranking system.
