The 29th edition of the PDC World Darts Championship starts on December 15. Ahead of the start of this tournament, Dartsnews looks back on some beautiful and remarkable events in the history of this event.
This time we focus on the fantastic World Championship final in 2007 between Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld. The Power' took a 3-0 lead in sets, but 'Barney' slowly but surely came back in the match.
It eventually became 6-6 in sets and then 5-5 in legs. A deciding leg had to decide who would win the world title. Van Barneveld had the throw in the last leg, but it was Taylor who opened best with a 180.
The Dutchman countered with a maximum score of his own and then left tops after twelve arrows. Taylor couldn't finish 140 and Van Barneveld took his fifth world title as he landed his dart on tops.
Watch the highlights of this legendary match in the video below.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
