MAJOR DARTS TOURNAMENTS WINNERS (Men's)
|
This listing aims to compile a list of winners of all televised Darts tournaments. It all began in 1962 with the Westward TV Individual broadcast only on regional ITV in the UK. In the early 1970s, The Indoor League and News Of The World were broadcast on British national television. The rest, as they say, is history. Histories of tournaments before they were televised (i.e Dutch Open) are also included in this listing but not details of tournaments which still take place but are no longer televised. Can you help? Please provide additions and corrections by emailing me at andyfair@hotmail.com.
