Most PDC World Championship matches played: Taylor currently top of rankings

Ahead of the PDC World Championship, we take a look at some statistics as to who is the player with the most matches played at the showpiece event.
This is of course Phil Taylor whos mark of 121 will likely not be eclipsed any time soon and it is Raymond van Barneveld who sits in second who will of course play his last ever game/s of professional darts at the World Championship who has 54.
He will likely finish in second of all time for now unless Adrian Lewis who is tied with him does better than him at the Alexandra Palace.
There are many players on the list who are either retired or not on the PDC Tour at the moment from Dennis Priestley in fourth to Kevin Painter in seventh all the way down to Andy Hamilton and Dennis Smith down towards the bottom.
It shows the real staying power of certain players but also the changing of the guard almost that these players' efforts are now being eclipsed by the new crop of talent.
Michael van Gerwen currently sit in sixth with 46 and could go into the top four with another title win on New Years Day.

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
