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.
The very first edition took place in 1994, about eighteen months after the split from the BDO. At that time, the new federation was called the World Darts Council (WDC). This would later change to the Professional Darts Corporation, better known as the PDC.
At the time, 24 players competed for the World Championship. Dennis Priestley and Phil Taylor reached the final, which was won by Priestley with 6-1 in sets.

- 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
