The World Darts Federation World Championship is the successor to the original championships, which ran until the BDO folded in September 2020, with the WDF, the sport’s official governing body, taking it over. It now vies for room as the sport’s premier open amateur event, well behind the Professional Darts Corporation’s (PDC) Christmas carnival at Alexandra Palace, with the Amateur Darts Circuit Global Championship running simultaneously and offering £60,000 to the winner, compared with the WDF’s £50,000. The women’s competition is considered the pinnacle of the female game.
