2000 PDC World Darts Championship

October 2013 January 2024 2000 PDC World Darts Championship 28 December 1999 – 4 January 2000 Circus Tavern Purfleet PDC SetsFinal – best of 13 £111,000 £31,000 170 Steve Raw Phil Taylor 1999 2001 The 2000 PDC World Darts Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2000 Skol World Darts Championship) was the seventh World Championship organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). It was held between 28 December 1999 and 4 January 2000 at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet, Essex. Phil Taylor beat Dennis Priestley in the final by 7 sets to 3, thus notching up his sixth successive World Championship and his eighth overall. As the tournament is staged earlier in the calendar year than most other World Championships in sport, Sky Sports commentators claimed that Taylor was the "first World Champion of the new millennium". For Priestley, it was the fourth time that he had lost to Taylor in the final in five years. Eric Bristow's first-round defeat to American Steve Brown virtually signalled the end of the legendary player's career at the top level: this was to be the last time he appeared at a World Championship, having done so in 23 consecutive years stretching back to the inaugural event of 1978. John Lowe thus became the last remaining player with an unbroken appearance record.
