The over 50s Darts events include past World Champions, WSDT Ranked and Senior Qualifiers.
The World Senior Darts (WSD), formerly The World Senior Darts Tour (WSDT),staged its first World Senior Championships event on 3-6 February 2022 at the Circus Tavern Purfleet. The Tournament featured past World Champions from across the globe and from both sports divisions. The sixteen-time World Darts Champion Phil Taylor was coached out of retirement to play in the event with John Lowe MBE, Bob Anderson, Les Wallace, John Part, Martin Adams, and the ten-time ladies darts champion Trina Gulliver MBE.
At 54, Robert Thornton won the first WSD World Championship staged event.
The packed venue, along with BBC iPlayer and BT Sport coverage, was a roaring success, encouraging other stars from the past to sign up to feature WSD events. TV Broadcasters have varied from the BBC iPlayer to the TNT TV subscription channel. See the WSD website for the latest TV broadcast details.
Players over fifty can also enter the qualifiers, and successful players win a place in the event finals. Hence, we expect more dart stars to enter future events.
Since February 2024, the WSD has adopted a new ranking system and added qualifying events for players to participate in the headline tournament.
The WSDT 2025 Calendar is featured below:
