About This Quiz

The World Matchplay at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool is considered by many players to be the second biggest tournament in darts after the World Championship. The unique venue and passionate Lancashire crowds create an atmosphere unlike any other event on the circuit.

Phil Taylor made the Matchplay his own, winning an incredible 16 titles over his career. The long format - matches start at first to 10 legs in the opening round - rewards consistency and stamina, making it a true test of a player's ability.

Since Taylor's retirement, the trophy has been shared among the game's elite, with Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright, and Michael Smith all adding their names to the Phil Taylor Trophy. This quiz tests your knowledge of the champions who've conquered the Blackpool stage.
