News 2013

The McCoy’s Premier League is a darts tournament which launched on January 20, 2005 on Sky Sports. The league is now played weekly from February to May, having originally started as a fortnightly fixture. The tournament originally featured seven players and now sees eight of the biggest names from the PDC circuit competing in a double round-robin format, with matches held across the country at different venues.

The current sponsors are McCoys who succeeded 888.com. The prize fund will rise from £265,000 to £450,000 in 2011 – with the guaranteed minimum of £50,000 (previously £40,000) for each player that qualifies for the play-offs. The top prize of £150,000 is the second highest in Darts behind the PDC World Championships (£200,000).

Phil Taylor has dominated this event, winning the first four competitions, this run ceased in 2009 when James Wade was the victor against Mervyn King who had beaten Taylor in the S/F but he did return with a vengeance in 2010 when beating Wade 10-8 and hit an average of 111.67 with two perfect ‘9’ dart games in that final. Raymond van-Barnaveld hit the first perfect game in the Premier League in 2006 & 2010. But Phil Taylor hit 2 in the final against James Wade in 2010. Taylor went unbeaten throughout the first three seasons before James Wade ended his 44 match run in the first match of the 2008 season. Gary Anderson is the current champion after his win over Adrian Lewis 10-4 in the 2011 final at Wembley. Phil Taylor retained his title in 2012 with a 10-7 win over Australian Simon Whitlock.
