World Seniors Darts Championship 2022: Draw, schedule, betting odds, results & live BBC TV coverage details for the new major featuring Phil Taylor

The inaugural World Seniors Darts Championship is over after a memorable weekend that not only a fantastic celebration of legends and cult heroes but also gave the chance of lesser known names to make their mark.

Headlined by 16-time world champion Phil Taylor, there were 11 players who have won a version of the sport's biggest title in either the BDO or PDC, with the others being John Lowe, Keith Deller, Bob Anderson, John Part, John Walton, Les Wallace, Martin Adams, Wayne Warren, Trina Gulliver and Lisa Ashton.

Other iconic stars included Peter Manley, Tony O'Shea, Terry Jenkins and nine-dart hero Paul Lim, but the winner was Scotland's Robert Thornton.

You can look back on how the event unfolded, which was televised by BT Sport and available on the BBC iPlayer, with all the results, daily reviews and match highlights while we have details of the prize money, ticket information and format.
