Twenty-four of dart’s most decorated players – with 44 World Darts titles between them – will return to the iconic Circus Tavern to contest the championship, including ‘The Power’ Phil Taylor who won 16 World Championships. Taylor will line up against the likes of multiple World Champions Trina Gulliver, Martin Adam, John Part, Lisa Ashton and John Lowe.
