"Hopefully now everything will be back to normal": Phil Taylor updates fans post surgery with World Seniors swansong in sight
WSDTSunday, 07 July 2024 at 19:14
Phil Taylor is in the final months of his active career. The 16-time world champion ended his career with the PDC back in 2018, but has since played on the World Seniors Darts Tour.
However, he has not had much success there. Taylor was regularly hampered by physical problems, which is why he went under the knife a few weeks ago. "I've had my operation, everything's fine because a lot of people have been asking me about it. I'm off my crutches now which is great," said Taylor.
"It's been three weeks on Monday. So another three weeks and I'll be on the practice board getting ready for the Seniors. Hopefully now everything will be back to normal, that's the plan."
The now 63-year-old Phil Taylor wants one last shot at a major title
The World Seniors Matchplay is a tournament that was first held in 2022, when Taylor lost to Robert Thornton 12-10 in the final. Last year, Leonard Gates took the win by defeating Jim McEwen 9-6 in the final.
For Taylor, it will be one of his last major tournaments, normally he is sure to also participate in the World Seniors Darts Masters in November.

- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- "People know I'm not keen on playing the lads on telly" Huh? She plays against that noa lynn bloke.thebogeyman22-10-2024
- Yes... it (he) needs some sort of help to realise that Mr XY is cheating the ladies - unfairly.MrYnyslas197122-10-2024
