Pint in one hand, arrows in the other. It is a scene that you can witness in any one of a thousand or more pubs up and down the country on a Friday night. The fact that darts has its grassroots in the countless pub leagues makes it understandable that there is a strong connection between the sport and downing a few beers. But there are many who are adamant that a drink is more than just too wet the whistle, and that alcohol improves their performance.
The 2018/19 World Darts Championship is set to have an expanded field of 96 players, with record prize money on offer too. The sport’s continued growth has been recognised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) in recent years. The pinnacle of world darts expanded to a field of 72 professional players back in 2010 and will grow to 96 this year, with a new pool of international qualifiers expected to get their shot at sporting stardom.

Phil Taylor bows out at the end of the 2017 season and the World Darts Championship at Ally Pally will be his final even, bringing the curtain down on a colourful and hugely decorated career.
