«2009 2011»

The 2010 Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship was the 17th World Championship organised by the Professional Darts Corporation since it separated from the British Darts Organisation.

Phil Taylor gained the title with a 7–3 victory over Simon Whitlock, defending successfully his title from the 2009 tournament.[1] Raymond van Barneveld recorded the second nine dart finish in the history of the tournament in his second round match against Brendan Dolan.[2]

The event took place from 18 December 2009 until 3 January 2010 – albeit with two breaks in between for Christmas and New Year. The tournament was held for the third time at London's Alexandra Palace.

Format and qualifiers

The televised stages featured 72 players, an increase of 2 from last year. The top 32 players in the PDC Order of Merit on 1 December 2009 were seeded for the tournament.[3] They were joined by the 16 highest non qualified players in the Players Championship Order of Merit from events played on the PDC Pro Tour.

  • The final field as of 1 December 2009:[4]

These 48 players were joined by 24 international players: the 4 highest names in the European Order of Merit not already qualified, the 3 highest names in the North American Order of Merit not already qualified and 15 further international qualifiers to be determined by the PDC and PDPA. Some of the players, such as the 4 from the European Order of Merit, the top 2 Americans, and Australian players are entered straight into the first round, while others, having won qualifying events in their countries, were entered into the preliminary round.

Prize money

The 2010 World Championship featured a prize fund of £1,000,000 - a rise of £260,000 on the previous year, to become darts' first £1 million tournament. All rounds featured more money compared to 2009, and also sees a £10,000 highest checkout prize being to make the fund go up to a million.

In addition, the losing semi-finalists contested a third place play off match on the same night as the Final, played for an extra £20,000 "winner takes all" pot on top of the £40,000 they both already received for being losing semi finalists. Therefore, third place won £60,000, and fourth place £40,000 - both an increase from last years £30,000 for the losing semi finalists.

The prize money is allocated as follows:[6]

Winner: £200,000 (up from £125,000)
Runner-Up: £100,000 (up from £60,000)
Third: £60,000 (up from £30,000 for losing semi finalists in 2009)
Fourth: £40,000 (up from £30,000 for losing semi finalists in 2009)
Quarter Finals: £25,000 (up from £20,000)
Third Round losers: £15,000 (up from £12,000)
Second Round losers: £10,000 (up from £8,000)

  • Mark Webster defeated Raymond van Barneveld 10 legs to 8 on 3 January in a 3rd/4th place playoff, the first time since 1998 such a playoff has occurred
