The Liverpool vs Arsenal match in the Premier League this weekend, drew in the biggest Sky audience of the year with 2.7 million viewers tuning in. These numbers pale in comparison however to those that viewed the World Seniors Champion of Champions.
The tournament won by Leonard Gates starred some of the biggest names in darting history such as Phil Taylor and Martin Adams. With the action also being shown on free TV in the UK via Channel 5, a massive viewing audience of 3.5 million glued to their screens watching the action as the Soulger became just the third American to win a major televised darts tournament.

- 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
