The Masters is a PDC darts tournament which features the top 24 darts players according to the PDC Order of Merit.

History

The inaugural tournament, held in 2013, was won by Phil Taylor, who defeated Adrian Lewis 10–1 in the final.[1] James Wade won the following year by defeating Mervyn King 11–10 in the 2014 final.[2] Michael van Gerwen became the third different champion in 3 years when he defeated Raymond van Barneveld 11–6.[3]

In 2013 and 2014, the tournament took place in the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland and was played in early November. However, the tournament was moved to early February in 2015 and had a new venue at the Arena MK (renamed Marshall Arena in 2019) in Milton Keynes, England. The tournament has been held in late January/early February ever since.

In 2024, the PDC announced the Masters would get reformed into the Winmau World Masters, featuring 32 players, consisting of the top 24 on the Order of Merit and 8 players from the preliminary rounds, contested by the other tour card holders and players from affiliated tours.

Format

From 2013 to 2020, the tournament featured the top 16 of the Order of Merit, in a fixed draw (1 plays 16, 2 plays 15 and so on). The first round and the quarter-finals are played over best of 19 legs, the semi-finals and the final are played over best of 21 legs.[4]

For the 2021 tournament, the participants increased from the Top 16 to the Top 24, with the Top 8 automatically going to the second round and the players seeded 9 to 24 playing in the best of 11 legs first round.
