its unbelievable how Darts as a sports turned professional over the decades. Its amazing on which level the top 20 players are compared to what they were back in 1995 or 2000

[@Wizzkidwas]

Even crazier to me is how Phil Taylor was still showing up in the finals or winning the titles, shows just how class he was

[@skyh2394]

Phil with his average in the 1998 finals would win against any single one of the 2020s finalists.

[@antwan.]

that 2003 win by John Part was the darting equivalent of climbing mt. everest. Taylor was on an EIGHT world titles on the trot winning streak, had won the pervious two finals 7 - 0, one of them against Part himself, and would go on to win the next three on the trot after as well

[@pompeyjim]

Crazy that Taylor picked up 14k for winning in '96. I think you get more than double that for winning a euro tour event now

[@julianruther4550]

I mean, I looked it up now, at the upcoming PDC World Darts Championship, you get 15,000 GBP just for making it into Round 2. Round 3 gets 25,000 GBP, Round 4 gets 35,000 GBP, reaching the QF gets you 50,000 GBP, the semi finalists get 100,000 GBP each, getting into the final is rewarded with 200,000 GBP and the 2024 World Champion gets a cheque worth 500,000 GBP.

[@erniemccracken2429]

That was back in the days when the PDC (WDC as it was) had less prize money than the BDO, for its world championship anyway. It was also before Barry Hearn and Matchroom took over the running of the PDC, so things weren't as slick and professional as they would later become. But yes, what a difference especially when you then look at the first world championship at Ally Pally (2008 when John Part won). Bigger crowd, more of a stadium-type atmosphere. From then on, even a casual viewer who didn't know the respective strength of the fields at the Lakeside and Ally Pally would immediately tell from the PDC coverage that things were bigger and better there.

[@PostTraumaticChessDisorder]

Adie winning his first title marks the beginning of entire new era of darts. No longer is the stage dominated by a just a few like Taylor, Part, and RvB. The whole field expanded and there were so much more contenders. Suddenly we saw Lewis, Anderson, MvG, Wright, Cross, Price rise up (and regrettably also fall). And now a new generation is coming with Smith, Humprhies, Littler, with some serious opposition from talented players like Rock, Aspinall, Noppert and Dobey. What a time to be alive...
