The PDC World Darts Championship is the premier event on the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) calendar. First held in 1994 as a consequence of a split in professional Darts, with the British Darts Organisation now running a separate BDO World Darts Championship. The competition was dominated by Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor, who won 14 titles and was runner-up 5 times.

Scotland’s Peter Wright is the current Champion, having won his first Championship in the 2019/2020 event after beating the then defending Champion Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the Final.
