Halls of Fame

You will not be shocked to notice that an event born in 2008 was dominated in its infancy by one Phil The Power Taylor. The Stoke legend won the first four hostings

The over 50s darts organisation then rapidly added several more 'major' events many of which mirrored their traditional/regular tour equivalents such as with Masters and Matchplay events being added as well as a Champion of Champions.

By 2023 the 12 week qualifying format ,with a Champions Week finale in Week 13, was firmly established and the total players pot was excess of £1,000,000.

While there is little doubt that Taylor is the King of Blackpool many regard Colin Lloyd's 170 to win the title as the single greatest moment

World Cup of Darts underwent several incarnations, new formats and venues and will again be revamped as a doubles only event in 2023:

Since then we have progressed to a total of 7 different winners with MVG also matching Phil's run of 4 in a row....

A set number of events are played in high quality environments, close in style to the PDCs tier tours, and the top 8 table are invited to a tour finals event...

As this fabulous event comes of age we note some of the most significant events and statistics in the 21 years since...

Not surprisingly the first name on the Trophy is that of Phil Taylor....
