The 2023 PDC World Darts Championship[1] (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2022/23 Cazoo World Darts Championship)[2] is the 30th World Championship organised by the Professional Darts Corporation since it separated from the British Darts Organisation. The event is taking place at the Alexandra Palace in London from 15 December 2022–3 January 2023.[1]

Peter Wright is the defending champion, after defeating Michael Smith 7–5 in the 2022 final.[3]

Peter Wright is reigning champion going into the 2023 tournament.
Gerwyn Price, the 2021 champion, will be top seed at the 2023 tournament.

Format

Round Best of (sets) First to (sets)
First 5 3

Quarter-finals 9 5
Semi-finals 11 6
Final 13 7

All matches will be played as single in, double out; requiring the players to score 501 points to win a leg, finishing on either a double or the bullseye. Matches will be played to set format, with each set being the best of five legs (first to three).

For all rounds except the first, the deciding set has to be won by two clear legs, unless the set score goes to 5–5, in which case a sudden-death leg will be played. There would be no throw for the bull in any sudden-death legs.

Prize money

The prize money for the tournament is expected to remain at £2,500,000 in total – the same as the previous 4 years. The winner's share will be £500,000.[4]

Qualification

Qualifiers

96 players are competing in the championship, with the thirty-two highest ranked players on the PDC Order of Merit being seeded to the second round, and the next thirty-two highest ranked players from the 2022 PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit and thirty-two players from the various qualifiers going into the first round.[5][6]

The full list of qualifiers is as follows:

  1. ^ China Premier League winner Zong Xiao Chen withdrew, due to COVID-19 pandemic regulations. His place was taken by the runner up.[7]

Seeds

2021 winner Gerwyn Price is top of the two-year PDC Order of Merit and number one seed going into the tournament. Reigning champion from 2022 Peter Wright, who was also champion in 2020, will be second seed and Michael van Gerwen, the three-time World Champion from 2014, 2017 and 2019, will be third seed; having in 2022 won four major titles; the Premier League, the World Matchplay, the World Grand Prix and the Players Championship Finals. As well as Price, Wright and van Gerwen, three other previous PDC world champions qualified as seeds; 2018 World Champion Rob Cross will be the 6th seed, 2015 and 2016 World Champion Gary Anderson will be 11th seeded, and 2007 PDC World Champion Raymond van Barneveld will be the 32nd and final seed. 2014 BDO World Champion Stephen Bunting qualified as 21st seed as one of two BDO champions to qualify as seeds, alongside four-time BDO champion van Barneveld.[5]

The top seeds behind Price, Wright and van Gerwen will be 2022 Grand Slam of Darts champion Michael Smith, four-time 2022 European Tour event winner Luke Humphries, Rob Cross, 2021 World Grand Prix champion Jonny Clayton and 2021 UK Open champion James Wade. Other 2022 major event champions to qualify as seed were the 9th seeded UK Open champion Danny Noppert, Masters champion Joe Cullen at 13th seed, European Champion Ross Smith in 19th with Damon Heta, one half of the victorious Australian World Cup team, one place below him in 20th.[5]

Pro Tour qualification

Josh Rock, an event winner on the 2022 PDC Pro Tour and 2022 World Youth Champion, is the highest-ranked non-seed on the 2022 PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit in his debut year. 2011 and 2012 World Champion Adrian Lewis was a qualifier via the Pro Tour. 1996 BDO champion Steve Beaton also qualified via the Pro Tour,[5] extending his record of 32 consecutive World Championship appearances.

As well as Rock, other players qualifying for their PDC World Championship debuts were Martin Lukeman, Scott Williams, Danny Jansen, Cameron Menzies, John O'Shea and Adam Gawlas. Other players qualifying via the Pro Tour included Heta's World Cup of Darts teammate Simon Whitlock.[5]

Qualifiers

The final group of 32 qualifiers were determined by a series of international qualifiers and secondary tours. The PDC Development and Challenge Tours, having been split into UK and EU sections in 2021, were restored as unified tours, with the top two from each spot qualifiying. A new Asian Championship was held for the first time, with the four semi-finalists from that event qualifiying for the World Championship. The EuroAsian Darts Corporation qualifier, which was predominately contested by players from Russia and Belarus, was cancelled after both countries were suspended in the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[7] In its place, a special qualifier was held for Ukrainian players only, with Vladyslav Omelchenko becoming the first Ukrainian player to qualify for the World Championship.[8]

Four-time BDO Women's World Champion Lisa Ashton and inaugural & reigning WDF Women's World Champion Beau Greaves qualified via the PDC Women's Tour. The first Women's World Matchplay, held in July 2022, was retrospectively declared to carry a World Championship spot in November, granting qualification to Fallon Sherrock, the only woman to have previously won a match at the PDC World Darts Championship, who had finished the Women's Series in third place. 2022 World Seniors Darts Masters champion David Cameron was another qualifier, having been the highest ranked Canadian player on the Championship Darts Circuit. The final three places were awarded by a qualifier for non-qualified PDC Tour Card holders, with 1995 BDO World Champion Richie Burnett qualifying for the first time since 2014 and Ryan Joyce and Jeff Smith also returning to the World Championship.[9]

Debutants via the international and invitation qualifiers were Sebastian Białecki, David Cameron, Mal Cuming, Leonard Gates, Beau Greaves, Xicheng Han, Prakash Jiwa, Paolo Nebrida, Vladyslav Omelchenko, Robert Owen, Nathan Rafferty, Grant Sampson, Danny van Trijp, Nobuhiro Yamamoto.[5]
