With Eric Bristow and defending champion Dennis Priestley both going out in round two, the way was paved for the top two seeds, Phil Taylor and Mike Gregory, to make it to the final – notably, the first since the inauguration of the World Championship in 1978 that neither featured Bristow nor John Lowe.

In a titanic affair, full of big scores and high checkouts, it went to the final set and a tiebreak, where Gregory missed two chances each at double 8, double top and double 10 for the title. It also made Gregory the first player to miss darts at double to win a world championship and eventually lose; none would match this until Mark McGeeney in 2018.

Taylor took full advantage and sent the match to a sudden-death leg, which he won to take his second World title.

gollark: Um. I hope not.
gollark: Locally hosted (accessible via some internal IP) stuff too.
gollark: Not *just* that.
gollark: You can fetch in nocors mode too, but then you don't get to see the result and can probably only GET.
gollark: Yes you can, `fetch`. It still has the CORS issue though.
