Phil Taylor has dominated world darts for eons, and is arguably the best player to have lived so far (Although Lewis or MGV might have something to say about that). However, at the beginning Taylor lost his title to Gary Anderson from Scotland, in a thrilling final which went all the way. It's well worth a watch if you like darts, less all the hype and silly score calling of course.

there is in europe, although they earn a lot less than the men.
I'm thinking more women than men consider sitting around the bar throwing darts all night to be a waste of time. 😉 But then again, that doesn't explain the huge popularity of amateur bowling leagues among women.

If I wrote he is the best ever so far, then maybe a few arguments would fly my way. I do however wonder if MGV is going to stuff Phil's record books though, or even Lewis? Phil started pretty late in serious competition. 😉

Originally posted by SuzianneActually, this is probably a bit unfair on darts. There are quite a few tournaments, including one of the world championships, where women can enter. As there is no obvious physical reason why men would have an advantage over women, they could compete for exactly the same prize money if they were good enough. However, as yet, no woman has made it past the preliminary rounds. The gap at the top level is huge at the moment.

I think, if women did get on a par with men at the top level, all tournaments would be open to men and women, and the viewing public would love it.
