This weekend marks the 13th edition of the World Cup of Darts. Ahead of this tournament, Dartsnews looks back at notable events in the history of this event.
Weng Xie was a standout at the 2016 World Cup of Darts. He lost his single in the second round hopelessly against Adrian Lewis (4-0), but managed to throw a 171 score against the two-time world champion.
And that was for everyone to know, as Xie went absolutely crazy after this score. Lewis could appreciate the happiness of his Chinese opponent and laughed himself. Jackpot was not out of his concentration, however, as he hit a double to win the next turn.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
