Darts tournament

The 2017 William Hill World Darts Championship is the 24th World Championship organised by the Professional Darts Corporation since it separated from the British Darts Organisation. The event is taking place at Alexandra Palace in London from 15 December 2016 to 2 January 2017.

Gary Anderson is the defending champion. Phil Taylor is making a 28th successive appearance at a World Championship (including the BDO version), equalling the record of John Lowe.

Format

The field consists of 72 players, including 16 in a Preliminary Round. Therefore, 64 players are entered into Round 1. The schedule was announced on 15 July 2016.

The 72 players consist of:

Top 32 players in the PDC Main Order of Merit
Top 16 Pro Tour Order of Merit players
Top 4 European players from the Pro Tour Order of Merit
16 International qualifiers
4 PDPA qualifiers

Qualifiers

The draw was made on 28 November live on Sky Sports News. The preliminary round draw was made the previous night.

Preliminary Round Qualifiers

1 Kyle Anderson, who would have been the 28th seed, withdrew from the tournament after being unable to secure a British visa. As a result, Cristo Reyes moved into the top 32 seeds, and 2004 runner-up Kevin Painter qualified through the Pro Tour.

Prize money

The prize money is £1,650,000 in total. The winner's prize money will be increased from £300,000 to £350,000. Prize money for a nine-dart finish was originally set at £5,000, but the PDC increased it to £25,000 due to 'the stature of the tournament'.
