World Seniors Darts Championships 2024: Schedule, results, TV channel, FREE stream as Phil Taylor crashes OUT
DARTS fans are in for a treat as the World Seniors Darts Championships is BACK – but English legend Phil Taylor’s run has come to an early end.
Taylor, 63, retired as the most successful player in the sport’s history in November 2023.
He explained: “It’s hard work now at my age. My grandson Matthew doesn’t want me to retire. He wants me to carry on forever.
However, Taylor revealed that he wants to keep competing for another 12 months as he looks to embark on an Elton John-style Farewell Tour.
And the darts sensation was hoping to secure the World Seniors Championship as his 46-year career comes to a close.
But Taylor embarrassingly went crashing out in just the first round by Manfred Bilderl.
